THE HOME DEPOT FOUNDATION'S
CELEBRATION OF SERVICE

 On September 5th, Team Depot volunteers transformed the home of Navy veteran Lidia Perez as part of the third annual Celebration of Service. Lidia Perez participated in two tours of duty and is a single mom who now works as a CO2 technician to support her family. Lidia chose "battleship gray" as the new paint color for her home to reflect her Navy pride. Click HERE to see more photos from the day and HERE to see coverage from KTLA's Gayle Anderson.

"THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME" BUILD DAY
| | |
 | |
Jimmy Mulligan, muralist from Chuck Jones Center for Creativity
|
Volunteers from Warner Bros. and IMAX kicked off the "There's No Place Like Home" campaign with Habitat for Humanity by rolling up their sleeves to paint a Wizard of Oz mural at the Burnett Neighborhood Library and by helping us build a new home in Long Beach! The campaign is part of the 75th Anniversary celebration of The Wizard of Oz and includes a digital fundraising component, as well as a number of themed initiatives and events around the country, all in support of Habitat for Humanity's mission to create affordable housing in partnership with hardworking, low-income families. We were so excited to have the opportunity to bring elements of this iconic movie to our build site and a local library in one of the neighborhoods we serve. Click HERE to see pictures of the unveiling of the mural, our yellow brick road and more!
