| "Corporate citizenship is important to us at Home Depot.
It is important to all of our stakeholders: our shareholders, our
customers, our employees, and the communities we serve. It is one
of many things that sets us apart from other home improvement retailers." |

| Home Depot |
As an extension of its sales motto, "Doing the right
thing instead of just doing things right," the Home Depot invests
company resources to secure safe and affordable homes in the hundreds
of communities where it does business and where its employees and
customers live. That includes providing supplies and volunteers for
rebuilding areas hit by natural disasters and encouraging Home Depot
employees to work with local organizations and youth to design and
build neighborhood playgrounds. Home Depot also funds affordable homes
for low-income individuals and families in cooperation with national
builders such as Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together, as
well as community-based developers around the country. The company
also collaborates with YouthBuild in more than two-dozen cities to
put young adults with troubled pasts in classrooms where they acquire
basic skills before receiving training on inner-city construction
sites. Some of these young people have joined the ranks of the company’s
full-time employees.
