As first responders continue to show up daily to support communities across the country, Lowe’s will once again recognize their selfless efforts. For the third year, Lowe’s will support first responders nationwide through exclusive deals, local store events, and more to recognize those who serve our towns, both big and small, every day.

Starting today, as a special “thank you” to the first responder community, eligible first responders can sign up to receive a digital coupon book with up to $1,500 in savings – redeemable Oct. 1 through Oct. 30. The exclusive digital coupon offers include 30% off custom cabinets, 25% off Allen & Roth bath and kitchen faucets, buy one get one half off on HGTV Home by Sherwin-Williams gallon paint products and more. Eligible first responders include firefighters, EMTs, police officers, nurses and doctors. First responders can learn more and register for the special offer starting today, Sept. 28, by visiting Lowes.com/FirstResponders.

“We are always grateful for first responders, who give their all every day to keep us safe,” said Marvin Ellison, Lowe’s chairman and CEO. “It’s a privilege to be able to show our appreciation for these frontline heroes with exclusive savings and through community service projects to revitalize their spaces.”

During Fire Safety Month in October, Lowe’s will also continue its tradition of raising public awareness for threats of fire and carbon monoxide, including hosting live fire safety demonstrations and DIY safety workshops. Local fire departments and Lowe’s partner First Alert will lead the events on Oct. 14 at Lowe’s stores nationwide. In addition, red vest associates will lead mini-DIYers in a kid’s-focused build-your-own fire truck toy workshop from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Oct. 14.

Lowe’s support for the first responder community will extend beyond October through the Lowe’s Hometowns program, the company’s five-year, $100 million investment in local community impact projects. This year, Lowe’s associate volunteers and extensive network of Pros, along with community partners, are participating in eight projects that will renovate and restore first responders’ spaces across the country: Anchorage Police Department Dispatch (Anchorage, Alaska), Dauntless Hook & Ladder Ambulance (Selinsgrove, Pa.), Galax Volunteer Fire Department (Galax, Va.), Green Township Volunteer Fire Department (Greendell, N.J.), Henderson Fire Department (Henderson, Ark.), Rosewood Heights Fire Protection District (East Alton, Ill.), Tyler Mountain Volunteer Fire Department (Cross Lanes, W.Va.) and Wedington Volunteer Fire Department (Fayetteville, Ark.).

Additionally, Lowe’s stores across the country are leading community impact projects to support and celebrate local first responder organizations and nonprofits, furthering Lowe’s commitment to first responders across the country.
