JUNE 15, 2023 – Operation Finally Home is proud to announce its continued partnership with Lowe’s through 2024. Lowe’s has committed to donating nearly $1 million over the next two years for home modifications and transitional housing for military veterans, first responders and their families.
“Lowe’s has been a wonderful partner in supporting our military families, not only with products and funds, but also with hands-on support,” said Rusty Carroll, Operation Finally Home President. “Lowe’s associates attend Operation Finally Home surprises, groundbreakings, Notes of Love and dedications, and show their support for our deserving veterans and first responders and their families. We’re looking forward to partnering with Lowe’s this year to provide home modifications and transitional housing for deserving families who are looking for their forever home.”
Lowe’s first partnered with Operation Finally Home in 2017, providing products and funding for mortgage-free homes built for military families in local communities.
“Lowe’s and Operation Finally Home have seen first-hand the transformative power that gifting modified and tiny homes can have for deserving veterans. We’re proud to continue this partnership, furthering our commitment to provide military members and veterans with safe and affordable housing,” said Joe McFarland, Lowe’s executive vice president of stores, and Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm combat veteran.
Lowe’s has committed more than $4.5 million over the next two years to support its nonprofit military partners. For the 17th consecutive year, Lowe’s was named a Military Friendly Employer in 2023, as well as Top 3 Brand and Bronze Military Employer.
To further honor the military, Lowe’s offers programs like differential pay during service, veteran parking and camo vests for associates to wear as a symbol of service.
