Lowe's Hometown Heroes at Shining Hope Farms

Thank you so much to our Lowe’s store #2370 of N Hickory and their team members for giving so generously of your time, talent and tithe.

We will be able to offer our clients two new private sensory rooms before the end of 2022. This was only possible because of your willingness and the willingness  of your teams volunteer service on November 9-10.

The entire staff at Shining Hope Farms is so grateful and blessed by the heart of your organizations to partner with us for this November Hometown Heroes / First Responders Event.

Without corporate partners like Lowe’s and our First Responders from St. Stephens Volunteer Fire Department, we would not be able to do what we do for the families in our communities that need hope.

We are humbled by how the Greater Hickory community has been so generous and willing to walk beside Shining Hope Farms to make our farm a safe place for our Veterans and clients to get the help that they need at the Conover farm.

Thank you Lowe’s and SSVFD for being a part of the change we all want to see!
