Lowe’s has already provided hands-on volunteer support for neighborhoods in Northeast Nashville, Donelson and Mt. Juliet. So far, the company has donated more than $125,000 in emergency supplies to communities in need. Below are just a few of the ways Lowe’s and its associates are reaching out to help:

  • Six local stores distributed 3,000 buckets of cleanup supplies to residents and served 3,000 hot meals alongside nonprofit partner Operation BBQ Relief.
  • A dozen Lowe’s volunteers joined Tennessee Titans’ staff on a neighborhood-canvassing event to distribute items like totes, gloves, rakes, shovels, trash bags and flashlights.
  • Nearly 40 Lowe’s volunteers partnered with nonprofit Reach Out WorldWide to help clear debris and distributed 500 pairs of work gloves, boxes of trash bags, shovels and totes.
