Lowe's Heroes help fulfill a vision . . .safer homes, safer families
Each successful Lowe's Heroes project must be carefully researched and planned, make a strong impact in the community, and be innovative. Lowe's stores, either individually or in partnership with neighboring stores, identify a community or home safety need and design a project from start to finish addressing this need. For example, stores in cities that have experienced a rash of fires may choose to conduct a fire prevention and education project with the local fire department. No matter what home safety topic the teams choose, Lowe's Heroes touch the lives of community members and potential Lowe's customers. The 2001 Lowe's Heroes projects continued the Home Safety Council tradition of educating families about home injuries and how to prevent them. From child safety to senior safety, fire prevention to disaster preparedness, Lowe's Heroes canvassed the nation with free home safety products and installations, information seminars and take-home booklets, and home safety skills that will last a lifetime. Although Home Safety Council honors Heroes projects that make the largest impact in their communities, every Lowe's Heroes team is a winner. Each Heroes team member, through the award entry or direct correspondence, expressed how conducting the project and seeing firsthand the effect they have in their neighborhoods was a reward unto itself. Lowe's employees know the Power of Pride, and they express it through the work that they do inside and outside of Lowe's stores. Whether they assist a customer with a purchase decision in the store, or they conduct home safety seminars at a local senior center, Lowe's employees give back to the communities in which they live and work. To everyone who participated in this year's Lowe's Heroes project, congratulations on another successful year! Click on the links below to view the winners:

Lowe's Home Improvement Warehouse created Home Safety Council in 1993 with a vision of safer American homes. Three years later, Home Safety Council created the Lowe's Heroes project to carry out this vision on a local level. Nearly every eligible Lowe's store conducts a Heroes project, and hundreds of communities nationwide experience the goodwill and services provided by Lowe's employee volunteers and their nonprofit partners.
