Local home improvement stores helped Lowe’s Canada raise $1.1 million for some good causes.
Across Canada, the Lowe’s Canada Heroes campaign raised $1.1 million in September, when every Lowe’s, RONA and Reno-depot corporate store in Canada collected donations to help local non-profit organizations or public schools. Lowe’s Canada matched 50 per cent of all funds raised through in-store campaigns, up to a maximum of $2,000 per store.
In New Westminster, the RONA store in Columbia Square will donate $1,000 to the Royal Canadian Legion, while the Lowe’s store in Queensborough will donate $5,692 to the New Westminster-based Honour House Society.
“We are grateful that our employees and customers across the country came together again this year to help people love where they live,” said Jean-Sebastien Lamoureux, senior vice-president of communications, public affairs and compliance at Lowe’s Canada. “With all our corporate stores participating for the first time, our Heroes campaign extended its support to even more community organizations and projects that our employees feel strongly about. Many thanks to everyone who made this year’s campaign an even bigger success.”
