Lowe’s official partnership with the NFL is back. As the company pairs up with the largest football league in the country for a third season, Lowe’s is also excited to bring back eight Lowe’s Home Team players to tackle community improvement projects across the nation.
The company is leaning into Home Team involvement in Lowe’s Hometowns, a 5-year, $100 million program dedicated to improvement projects across the country, making homes – and hometowns – better for all. Each Home Team player’s project will focus on giving back to their local communities in unique and impactful ways, from increasing access to shelters and affordable housing, to supporting education and learning, expanding health services and much more.
Drew Brees, Home Team Member (QB – Retired)
Brees will help lowernine.org in its commitment to the long-term recovery of the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans. The group will further its mission and enhance its capacity by building a sustainable work-live headquarters in the Lower Ninth Ward. This will provide year-round, well-equipped, modern housing for visiting volunteers.
Justin Herbert, Home Team Player (QB – Los Angeles)
Herbert helped Kid City of Los Angeles create a community space that doubled the organization’s usable program space. This gives high school students a safe, shady outdoor area where they can gather with their peers and mentors.
Kelvin Beachum, Home Team Player (OT – Arizona)
Beachum recently volunteered at the Agua Fria Union School District in Avondale, Arizona by upgrading their lab with an extended cover, proper drainage and adding improvements like a tool cage, storage and outdoor workspace. The upgrades will boost the program’s skilled trades/construction program and give enrolled students a safe working environment.
Christian McCaffrey, Home Team Player (RB – Carolina)
From building out multiple studios and improving a kitchen space, to upgrading the landscaping, McCaffrey will work with Do Greater Charlotte in Charlotte, North Carolina as they transition to occupying a fully functional space. The group empowers communities by facilitating exposure and access to technology, creativity and entrepreneurship.
Travis Kelce, Home Team Player (TE – Kansas City)
Kelce will help InterUrban ArtHouse in Overland Park, Kansas renovate an outdoor community cultural arts and events space. Improvements to the space will further the organization's mission to enrich the cultural and economic vibrancy of the community by giving artists and creative industries a place to work and prosper.
Micah Parsons, Home Team Player (LB – Dallas)
The Austin Street Center in Dallas, Texas provides safe shelter and meets the basic needs of the most vulnerable homeless. Parsons will help the organization address the critical needs of the shelter through improvements to the flooring, insulation and roofing of its facility.
Chris Godwin, Home Team Player (WR – Tampa Bay)
Godwin will help the Boys & Girls Club of Tampa Bay, Florida with critical flooring repairs to ensure safety in its main programing spaces, including a computer and learning lab. The current damaged and missing flooring will be replaced with new LVT and baseboards.
Matt Light, Home Team Member (OT – Retired)
St. Francis House in Boston, Massachusetts is a daytime shelter that has not had its original permanent supported housing’s shower and bathroom facilities upgraded since their installation in 1997. Light will help repair and improve the facilities, so functionality, efficiency and accessibility is improved. Upgrades will transform the space, providing modern, high-quality, accessible facilities for all residents.
This season, Lowe’s and the NFL will also collaborate to inspire fans to “Tackle Home Together”. The season-long integrated campaign will offer up relatable DIY content shared across Lowe’s channels and in NFL fans favorite spaces like NBC’s Sunday Night Football and online video. Lowe’s and NFL players will inspire homeowners and show how Lowe’s can help them achieve their home improvement goals.
