Lowe's Great Safety Adventure - The Great Safety Adventure (GSA) began its tour in
March 1999 as a "field trip on wheels" to teach school-age children about home safety. Sponsored
by Home Safety Council, the exhibit visits elementary schools and Lowe's stores to help
children and their families learn how to save lives. Rover, the dog whose nose knows safety,
accompanies the multi-million dollar interactive exhibit to all appearances. Since its conception,
the GSA has reached more than 350,000 children in nearly 300 cities.

Home Safety For Seniors - Home Safety for Seniors was developed to train youth and family volunteers in conducting home safety needs assessments for senior citizens. Volunteers look for important safety items missing in each home, i.e. smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, no-slip mats for throw rugs and handrails for bathroom areas. After the assessment, the volunteers purchase necessary safety products for each senior, then return to the senior's homes for delivery and installation.
