On November 21, 2012, Hurricane Sandy devastated the Northeast, destroying homes and leaving families displaced. Lowe's and Boston Market joined the disaster response, distributing over 22,000 hot turkey dinners to survivors in New Jersey and New York—turning a hardware store into a lifeline.
You're standing in a Lowe's parking lot in Toms River, clutching your child, waiting for a hot meal. Around you, other families line up quietly. The store where people once browsed for paint and nails has become a refuge. A volunteer hands you a styrofoam container of turkey and stuffing—warm, real food—and for a moment, normalcy feels possible again.
Reflect
When disaster strikes your home, what would you need most? Who would you turn to?
