Local Grey-Bruce Rona stores join the Lowe’s ‘Heroes’ campaign

Lowe’s Canada, one of Canada’s leading home improvement retailers, is proud to announce the results of its fifth highly successful ‘Heroes’ campaign. Thanks to the involvement of 313 teams from participating locations, an unprecedented engagement, and customer generosity, over $1.44 million will be distributed to 242 charities, NPOs, and public schools across the country.

This year, six distribution centres and 81 RONA affiliated dealer stores joined the Lowe’s, RONA, and Réno-Dépôt corporate stores. Associates ramped up creative ideas and personal determination to raise the most funds possible for their chosen organization. Some teams even volunteered to help carry out a project. For a bigger impact, Lowe’s Canada matched 50% of all donations, up to $2,000 per location. This contribution is included in the grand total of $1.44 million.

Each local team chose their own cause to support and, locally, Southampton Rona chose the local Food Bank to be their recipient raisingmore than $3,000 in support.

“Helping build stronger communities is a top priority at Lowe’s Canada, and this campaign reflected that engagement. With 242 organizations supported, we hoped to make a difference in the lives of many. These are challenging times—both economically and socially. These organizations’ needs are greater than ever, and our teams are working extremely hard to support them,” said Mélanie Lussier, Director, External Communications and Sustainable Development.
