Lowe’s national Canada Heroes campaing raised a total of $1.1 million in September, with funds raised at Quesnel’s Rona store staying local.
Throughout September, every Lowe’s, RONA, and Reno-Depot corporate store in the country collected donations to help local non-profit organizations or public schools of their choosing fulfill their missions or carry out specific projects. Lowe’s Canada matched 50 per cent of all funds raised through the in-store campaign, up to a maximum of $2,000 per store. All funds raised in-store, along with matching corporate donations, are being donated to more than 260 community organizations.
This year, RONA Quesnel employees chose to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Quesnel and will be donating $3,076.88 to this local organization.
“We are grateful that our employees and customers across the country came together again this year to help people love where they live,” said Jean-Sébastien Lamoureux, senior vice-president of communications, public affairs and compliance at Lowe’s Canada.
“With all our corporate stores participating for the first time, our Heroes Campaign extended its support to even more community organizations and projects that our employees feel strongly about. Many thanks to everyone who made this year’s campaign an even bigger success.”
