Lowe’s is continuing to support efforts to clean up and recover after Hurricane Harvey. Here’s a recap of the latest:

  • One of Lowe’s benefits buses – that typically travels across the country to provide health screenings to employees – is on the ground for two days at Lowe’s stores in Houston to support Lowe’s employees and community members. The bus is distributing supplies ranging from batteries and flashlights to baby wipes and personal hygiene items to first aid and cleaning supplies.
  • Lowe’s plans to hire more than 2,000 employees to help customers as Houston begins the rebuilding process. Jobs and the requirements are posted online at lowes.com/careers.
