BOUCHERVILLE, Que. — Lowe’s Canada has announced an investment of $1 million to support its associates and communities during the ongoing pandemic. Within that amount, a contribution of $241,000 will allow Lowe’s, RONA, Reno-Depot and Dick’s Lumber corporate stores across the country to support, either in cash or in kind, initiatives to meet specific needs in their regions. A further $228,000 will go to RONA affiliated dealers to support store associates and local community needs.
In addition, $1,000 will be earmarked for each Lowe’s Canada corporate store to create a food pantry for employees, for an aggregate amount of $241,000. To compensate for the cancellation of the annual in-store fundraising campaign for Children’s Miracle Network and Opération Enfant Soleil, a donation of $290,000 is being offered.
These measures are in addition to Lowe’s Canada’s existing charitable commitments and the steps already taken for the protection of employees, including enhanced sanitation practices, marketing materials encouraging online shopping and the installation of protective shields at checkout stations.
