Home improvement retailer Lowe's committed $1 million to support disaster relief efforts in response to Hurricane Dorian's impact along the U.S. coast and in the Bahamas, according to a news release from the company. The retailer will work closely with both nonprofit partners and government agencies to determine immediate and long-term support needed by local communities.
To support customers and communities as they prepared for the storm and in the clean-up and recovery that follows, the Lowe’s Emergency Command Center has expedited more than 6,000 truckloads of needed supplies, including generators, bottled water, sand, plywood, chainsaws, trash bags, gas cans and tarps.
“Lowe’s is committed to helping our associates, customers and the communities we serve recover and rebuild from Hurricane Dorian,” said Marvin R. Ellison, Lowe’s president and CEO. “Beyond our financial commitment, Lowe’s will help communities recover with product donations and volunteer support alongside our nonprofit partners for weeks and months to come.”
Associates from Lowe’s stores in Charlotte, Atlanta, Richmond and other locations are deploying Sunday to areas most affected by Hurricane Dorian. These emergency relief teams provide additional customer support and give fellow associates a chance to focus on their families.
