“Last year we were able to serve 11 local veterans and we hope to increase that number this year,” said Robin Pompey, Chief Executive Officer of GKAR. “Our goal is to assist veterans in our community, whether returning home with special requirements, or simply in need of home maintenance. With the help of Lowe’s, we were able to provide as much as a new roof in 2015. We are partnering together again and I am excited to see what we will accomplish with 2016’s Day of Service for Veterans!”
