For Immediate Release:
OMAHA, Neb. – Habitat for Humanity of Omaha announced today it has received a $68,000 grant from Lowe’s to help repair five homes in Omaha.
Funding and Lowe’s red vest associates will support Habitat Omaha’s efforts to make homes safer and healthier and create stronger communities. The grant will help Habitat Omaha make critical repairs, including electrical upgrades, plumbing, and air conditioning unit replacement.
“This generous grant from Lowe’s allows us to make critical repairs that help families stay safely in the homes they love. It’s more than fixing roofs or windows — it’s about restoring dignity, stability and hope,” said Randy Beagley, senior manager of Habitat Omaha’s home improvement programs. “We’re proud to partner with Lowe’s to strengthen Omaha neighborhoods, one home at a time.”
The projects are part of Lowe’s commitment to deliver 10 million square feet of impact in communities nationwide this year. The initiative includes enabling 20 local Habitat affiliates to complete 200 repair projects across the United States. Lowe’s continued partnership with Habitat for Humanity International supports home repair and preservation efforts in owner-occupied homes, helping neighbors safely remain in the homes they cherish. Since 2003, Lowe’s and Habitat have worked together to help more than 18,000 people build or improve a place to call home.
