USO Fort Campbell showcased recent renovations at its USO Center during an Open House on November 5, marking its 15th year on the Army installation. The work was funded by a $50,000 Lowe's Community Impact Grant and furnishings donated by Bob's Discount Furniture.

Why it matters

The renovated spaces are used by service members every day to complete their mission and for training. Upgrades to shared facilities on the installation directly affect how service members rest, study and connect during their time at Fort Campbell.

Lowe's awarded USO Fort Campbell a $50,000 Community Impact Grant that funded a complete renovation of the Annex room and two computer labs. Bob's Discount Furniture donated furnishings for four rooms, and the source does not disclose the value of that donation.
