Community
Engagement
Providing relief before and after disasters
The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the
worst in modern U.S. history – that brought
out the best in our associates:
The Home Depot, the Foundation, our
suppliers and The Homer Fund contributed
$9.3 million in cash and materials to support
recovery from hurricanes Katrina, Rita
and Wilma.
Our Rebuilding Hope & Homes program will
provide more than $1.25 million to rebuild
lives and communities on the U.S. Gulf Coast.
In the storms’ midst, our stores stayed true
to a proud tradition: last out, first back.
In giving, we get back so much more

Volunteerism
One of the most powerful tools we have in our stores is not
on our shelves – it’s hands-on help. The Home Depot is
committed to giving back to the communities it serves. In
2005, we demonstrated that commitment by leading a
Corporate Month of Service, the largest volunteer project in
our company’s history. With nonprofit partner Hands On
Network, more than 40,000 volunteers from The Home Depot
transformed the communities in which we live, work and play. We
logged more than 320,000 hours of work on 1,300 neighborhood projects.
The Home Depot Foundation
The Foundation supports the building of affordable, efficient and healthy homes,
and the planting of trees in our city parks, on tree-lined streets and in our
own backyards. Since 2003, we have invested more than $20 million to help
communities blossom.
KaBOOM!
Play time is serious business. That’s why we share KaBOOM!’s belief that every
child should have a safe and fun place to play. In 2005, we partnered with
KaBOOM! on 248 projects in the United States, Canada and Mexico. We also
pledged $25 million to build 1,000 playgrounds in 1,000 days.
The Homer Fund
The Homer Fund is an emergency charitable resource supported by associates
of The Home Depot for associates of The Home Depot. In 2005, the Fund distributed
over $4 million to 4,200 associates in need.
Direct Contributions
In 2005, we supported thousands of nonprofit organizations with nearly $40.6 million
in material and financial contributions.
