Lowe's Launches Nationwide Initiative: The Community Bucket List Tour

On February 18, 2026, Lowe's Companies Inc. announced an exciting new initiative aimed at revitalizing communities across the United States. The company is inviting residents to share their renovation aspirations through its "Community Bucket List" campaign, which encourages communities to identify and propose impactful projects that would enhance their hometowns. This initiative will run until March 20, 2026, and is part of Lowe's broader commitment to community development.

As part of this initiative, Lowe's will kick off the Community Bucket List Tour, bringing oversized blue buckets to various cities from coast to coast. This tour aims to engage local communities directly and raise awareness about the importance of community improvement projects. Notable stops will include major urban centers such as Dallas, Louisville, Philadelphia, Tampa, Birmingham, Detroit, St. Louis, Salt Lake City, San Diego, and Phoenix.

Lowe's Community Bucket List initiative is rooted in the company's five-year, $100 million commitment to community revitalization. The program will provide Lowe's Community Impact Grants to fund up to 100 large-scale renovation projects and will support over 2,000 additional community improvement projects selected by Lowe's associates.

"At Lowe's, we know strong communities don't just happen – they're built," said Marvin Ellison, Lowe's chairman and CEO. "Every day, our associates work alongside community helpers to deliver transformational impact for the places we call home. As we look ahead to 2026, we're setting ambitious goals for our work to help strengthen the communities we serve for generations to come."

Lowe's red vest associates have already made significant contributions to community development in the past year, delivering more than 10 million square feet of impact nationwide. Some standout projects include:

These projects exemplify Lowe's commitment to serving communities and improving living conditions for those in need.

Residents are encouraged to submit ideas that benefit nonprofits, schools, cities, or municipalities. Eligible project types include renovations of community resources such as senior centers, food pantries, and youth clubs, as well as safe affordable housing and community spaces like parks and gardens. Other focus areas include facilities for veterans and military families and skilled trades education facilities.
