Lowe's is proud to employ 20,000 military associates and recognizes veterans as a valuable source of talent, not only for our company but within the home improvement industry at large. Lowe's is committed to helping employ, train and support this diverse and experienced group so they thrive in post-service professions. Lowe's shows appreciation by offering military associates options to wear camo vest and special patches to celebrate their service, differential pay during service, along with other benefits to help them and their families. Lowe's Employee Giving Campaign matches employee donations (50 cents for every dollar) to benefit military organizations. As part of our ongoing efforts, Lowe's is an active partner of the Military Spouse Employment Partnership, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, United Service Organizations, and American Veterans.
