Lowes builds together for the YMCA
Lowes employees pitch in for Y playground
0203 YMCA Lowes
Local Lowes employees Rob Gross, Thomas Newman, Ebony Williams and Ericka Gardin admire their work at the YMCAs day camp site, Camp Soaring Eagle. The team used a $1,500 grant from Lowes to buy materials and volunteered their labor to build a roof and stairs on the playground. They also added a tire swing and made the regular swings a little safer. - photo by Photo by Calli Arnold
Effingham YMCA Executive Director Kim Dennis was tickled when the Y was selected by local Lowe’s employees to benefit from a $1,500 grant for repairs and improvements on their day camp playground. “The work was invaluable,” she said. “For us to have paid to have this done would have taken us a while.”
