$50,000 Lowe's Community Impact Grant to de Sales

BIG NEWS!

We are thrilled to share that St. Francis de Sales High School has received a $50,000 Lowe’s Community Impact Grant, helping us check off not one, but two major projects from our bucket list!

With Lowe’s support, we’ll be transforming two existing spaces into a new Welcome Center and Community Closet designed to serve our students, families, and neighbors.

For us, these projects are about so much more than renovating rooms. Our school has always believed that taking care of students means taking care of the whole community around them. Our new Welcome Center will create a warm, accessible space where families and visitors immediately know they belong, while our Community Closet will provide clothing, essentials, and other resources in a space intentionally designed around dignity, choice, and care.

These are spaces we have dreamed about creating for a long time, and this $50,000 investment is helping turn those ideas into something real. 🛠️💙💛

Thank you, Lowe’s, for believing in what’s possible at DeSales and for investing in our students, our families, and the Southeast Side of Chicago.

We can’t wait to share the transformation and the final reveal!
