Lowe's NFL "Home Team Roster" Is Doing Amazing Community Service Projects Across the Country
Lowe's
During these tough times of the coronavirus pandemic, we've been amazed at how many people—celebrities and regular folks alike—have devoted themselves to helping those in need. Now, we're happy to hear this piece of feel-good news from Lowe's, the home improvement store, which has just launched the "Home Team Roster," a lineup of players from all 32 NFL teams working on various community impact projects in their respective NFL hometowns.
For the partnership, each player will volunteer on a project ranging from affordable housing repairs and small business support to veterans' outreach and disaster recovery. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens' quarterback and 2019 NFL MVP, is serving as "captain" for Lowe's Home Team, and is very much looking forward to making a difference in Charm City.
For his specific project, the star quarterback will work with Lowe’s and Baltimore's Southwest Partnership to help with the opening of the United Way Family Center in Poppleton at Excel Academy. The center provides quality early childhood education and daycare, as well as support for student parents. The United Way Family Center is part of Lowe's broader commitment to support housing and workforce needs in Southwest Baltimore.
“It’s important for me to be able to give back to the community and support the people that have supported me," Jackson said in a Lowe's press release. "Being a part of the Lowe’s Home Team is special for me because it gives me the chance to bring people together and give back.” The soon-to-open family center is pictured below, and we're hopeful it will be a very special addition to the community.
