SCOTLAND, Pa. - Normally, Lowe's employees help the do-it-yourselfers, but this week a group from the Chambersburg home improvement center are doing it themselves, volunteering their time to build a new concession stand for the athletic field at the Scotland School for Veterans' Children.
By lunchtime Tuesday, the walls were up and Lowe's Operations Manager Jason Martinage and other employees were positioning a roof truss on the concession stand at Heckler Field. Volunteers from the store are expected to work through today and into Thursday to complete the stand, said Susan Morris, a zone manager at the store.
"They do a lot for veterans and their children, so we want to give back for what they do for us," Morris said of the reason the school was selected for the store's Lowe's Heroes project this year. Lowe's Heroes is a companywide volunteer program established in 1996 to assist with community projects, she said.
