In a heartwarming display of community spirit, the N.O.W. (No Opportunity Wasted) Foundation partnered with Lowe’s Home Improvement to lend a helping hand to a senior resident in need. The initiative, aptly named “Like A Good Neighbor Project,” aims to restore the exterior of the home of an elderly woman who has struggled to maintain her property due to physical limitations.
The project was officially launched with the enthusiastic support of Mason Davis and his dedicated crew from the Shelbyville Lowe’s. Thanks to the foresight and compassion of local business owner Payne Long of “Finley and Finn,” the N.O.W. Foundation was introduced to the project details of the resident who required assistance. Long, concerned for the well-being of his neighbor, provided the necessary information to initiate this much-needed restoration of the exterior of the resident and the necessities needed for the resident’s scrubs, and lawn.
This partnership is a wonderful example of how local businesses and community organizations can come together to make a significant impact,” said Angelia James and Tiffany Dandy, directors of the N.O.W. Foundation. “We are incredibly grateful for Lowe’s support, which includes the provision of tools and equipment, as well as skilled labor to ensure the project’s success.”
The project not only aims to enhance the curb appeal of the senior’s home but also fosters a sense of belonging and connection within the community. The N.O.W. Foundation’s commitment to improving lives is evident in their proactive approach to address the needs of residents who may be struggling to maintain their homes. As the project progresses, community members are encouraged to volunteer and support efforts to uplift their neighbors. Local engagement in such initiatives can create a more vibrant and caring community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
