(BEDFORD) - This year, customers can join the cause by donating at any Lowe’s to help Boys & Girls Clubs.
Lowes is hosting an in-store campaign now until Oct. 31. Customers can donate $1, $5, $10 or more at the register, and the funds raised will be split between Lawrence County Boys and Girls Club and the national organization.
Frank Decker, director of the Lawrence County Boys and Girls Club says, Lowe's National Promotion "Building Great 'Futures Together', is just a tremendous benefit to Boys and Girls Clubs across the nation. The campaign is designed to help both nationally and locally. But we are even more blessed as our local Lowe's has gone above and beyond the campaign by offering personal participation, store Manager Derrick Johnson visited our facility last week; he and his workforce have offered various materials and manual labor to help us make a few needed improvements to our Limestone Unit."
Nearly four million youth in America, ages 6-18, spend out-of-school time at Boys & Girls Clubs, where they receive support and encouragement to reach their full potential. With your donations, and help from Lowe's, Boys & Girls Clubs of America can continue to further enhance Club offerings and provide additional support for at-risk teens and children here in Bedford and nationwide.
"Within the walls of every Boys & Girls Club, our dedicated staff and volunteers drive academic success, build good character, and influence health and wellness for our Club members to stay on the path to a great future," said Jim Clark, president, and chief executive officer of BGCA. "Our partnership with Lowe's holistically impacts Clubs by addressing areas needing improvements while combining the skills and dedication of Lowe's Heroes employee volunteers. Together we're leaving a lasting mark on America's youth, our Clubs, and our local communities."
Since 2009, Boys & Girls Clubs of America has proudly partnered with the Lowe's Companies, Inc. to provide grants to local Boys & Girls Clubs across the country for improvements and refurbishments.
These projects have included upgraded kitchens, working bathroom facilities, enhanced lighting and new spaces for kids and teens.
Lowe's wants its local communities to love where they live, and at Boys & Girls Clubs, we want our young people to understand the impact of community engagement. Throughout our partnership, both organizations continue to focus on what matters most - making a marked difference in communities across the country.
To date, Lowe's has provided grants to more than 230 Clubs ensuring that our young people have a place they find comforting, supportive, and fun to visit each and every day.
