November 6, 2010 (CHICAGO)

The home improvement retailer also made some repairs on the houses in the Austin community.

The homeowners, who are all low-income residents, received insulation, weather-stripping, and ceiling fans.

Lowe's also replaced outdated refrigerators, stoves, and water heaters with new, energy-efficient appliances. Volunteers replaced drafty windows with those that are weather-tight.
