Local non-profit getting help from Inland Empire Lowe's stores
Seven Inland Empire Lowe's home improvement stores are coming together to remodel and upgrade OPARC's Upland facility, 436 S. Sultana Blvd.
OPARC is a non-profit agency serving adults with developmental disabilities.
The project will take place Wednesday and Thursday.
Lowe's will provide countertops and upper cabinets for a remodeled kitchen as well as new lighting fixtures throughout the facility that will utilize energy-efficient light bulbs.
About 40 volunteers will help install the cabinets and fixtures as well as paint the exterior of the facility.
This is the second time Lowe's has collaborated with OPARC.
Tom Mitchell, human resources manager at the Mira Loma Lowe's is coordinating the program. Also helping out are human resource managers Janet Magallanez from Chino Hills, Miles Richardson from South Chino Hills, Jennifer Goatcher from Upland, Steven Ramirez from San Dimas, Alan Almanzar from Corona, and Christina Davis from Riverside.

Papa John's pizza in Upland
will provide lunch for the volunteers on Wednesday, and Chick Fil-A
at Colonies Crossroads will donate lunch on Thursday.
"I can't begin to thank
Lowe's enough for their help with this project," said OPARC President/CEO
Ron Wolff in a news release. "This facility has needed this upgrade for several
years now, but our budget is limited and our maintenance department
is stretched thin already. Our staff members and clients will
appreciate this upgrade for many years."
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don't know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
