Giving back is a fundamental value of The Home Depot and a passion for associates. Through an extensive community relations program, we reach out to the communities where our associates live and work with philanthropic and volunteer support. Our programs bring together volunteerism, do-it-yourself expertise, product donations and monetary grants to meet critical needs and build affordable communities. Community efforts focus on four key areas: building and refurbishing playgrounds; ensuring the safety and accessibility of community gathering spaces, building and refurbishing affordable and transitional housing; preparing communities for emergencies. Volunteerism is embraced collectively and individually. Whether it’s building a playground for children, repairing homes for the elderly, helping inner-city teens learn job skills, educating customers about energy usage or shoring up an over-flowing river, making a difference helps The Home Depot remain true to its progressive corporate culture.

Established in 1985, The Corps Network is the voice of the nation’s 113 Service and Conservation Corps. Currently operating in 41 states and the District of Columbia, Corps annually enroll more than 23,000 young men and women who contribute 13 million hours of service every year. Corps annually mobilize approximately 125,000 community volunteers who contributed more than 2.4 million additional hours of service. Service and Conservation Corps are a direct descendent of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) that built parks and other public facilities still in use today. Like the legendary CCC of the '30s, today's Corps are a proven strategy for giving young men and women the chance to change their communities, their own lives and those of their families. Service and Conservation Corps provide a wealth of valuable conservation, infrastructure improvement and human service projects. Some Corps tutor and some fight forest fires. Others complete a wide range of projects on public lands. Still others improve the quality of life in low-income communities by renovating deteriorated housing, engaging in environmental restoration, creating parks and gardens and staffing after-school programs.
