Heroes helping Heroes: Lowe’s volunteer program gives helping hand to Aspiranet Turlock

Sept. 9, 2013 - PRLog -- (Turlock, Calif.) – Lowe’s Heroes, a company-wide volunteer initiative program, left a charitable imprint on leading California social services agency Aspiranet on Sept. 5 when 25 Lowe’s employee volunteers from its Turlock location participated in a donation of labor and up to $1,000 of supplies to improve Aspiranet’s Turlock facility.

Each year, Lowe’s Turlock completes a Lowe’s Heroes project in town. This year, a Lowe’s staff member suggested Aspiranet as a non-profit to make its annual donation to.  

“We are humbled and grateful to have been chosen for this amazing opportunity to enhance our facility and unveiling this fresh look to the children and families we serve,” said Sandra Genova, district director for Aspiranet Turlock. “Thank you to the generous heroes of Lowe’s who donated their time to make a positive difference in the community.”

In 2012, thousands of Lowe’s volunteered at more than 1,300 community projects, and has contributed more than $1.3 million in materials to support those efforts.
