Lowe's Heroes in Pikeville and Valspar Paint teamed up Wednesday to repaint the inside of the shelter and the children's toy room and to put down vital flooring. The shelter currently houses 28 people and among those 28 are four children. Shelter officials say with limited funding, volunteers are helpful. With the shelter, your funding is always very short so those are things that we don't get very often. So the fact that they are taking a liking to us and actually coming in and helping us, that's all we have. You know, the community comes in and helps and we run solely on community donations and churches and individuals. Valspar employees say it's much more than just donating paint, supplies, and time. One of the big things is when we talk about paint or talk about projects like this, I always tell the team that it's not just paint. I mean, the coat of paint really has a huge impact. And so, you know, when the lady came by, I think that's really the main reason we do these things. For years, Lowe's Heroes has worked on various projects throughout the community. Now, Lowe's has offered something to entice employees to do more community service. Each employee is eight hours of volunteer time now. It's something that Lowe's just did this year. We've used various different things. We've worked with Habitat. We've worked with the York House downtown. So Lowe's actually gives us that time to give back to the community. But everyone can agree it's all worth it in the end. As for children, they've been uprooted and moved to a new place, so it's kind of hard. So when they come in and see a fun toy room that they can go into and play, it kind of makes them forget their sad days. Lowe's and Valspar plan to finish the project tomorrow. A mural will also be painted in the children's toy room. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.
