ReNForce-Redemption House Selected as Lowe’s Hometowns Project

Staff Report From Georgia CEO

Friday, July 25th, 2025

Augusta-based ReNForce-Redemption House has proudly been selected as a Lowe’s Hometowns project, one of 100 community-nominated, large-scale renovations that will revitalize nonprofit and community spaces serving as hubs and heartbeats for hometowns. Now in its fourth year, Lowe’s Hometowns is the company’s five-year, $100 million commitment to repairing and restoring millions of square feet of community space. 

The Lowe’s Hometowns grant will benefit the restoration and beautification project for yard areas, fencing, and other spaces at Redemption House, a haven and supportive community for justice-impacted women seeking redemption, rehabilitation, and a fresh start in life. This grant is timely as Redemption House suffered damage from Hurricane Helene in September of 2024. This investment will help create a safe, dignified, and empowering environment for women reclaiming their place in our community, as well as assisting Redemption House with being good community partners for South Augusta.

 With help from Lowe’s red vest associates across the country, Lowe’s Hometowns projects will help expand kitchen and serving capacity for food pantries, restore dignity to well-used transitional housing facilities, revitalize parks and gardens for neighbors to safely gather and build restorative spaces for first responders to rest between calls.  

Earlier this year, Lowe’s announced a promise to deliver 10 million square feet of impact to capture the immeasurable difference made when Lowe’s shows up to help, including initiatives like Lowe’s Hometowns.
