The Home Depot has reflected on its activities in 2025, highlighting store expansion, community investment, and support for veterans and disaster relief efforts. The company opened ten new stores across the United States, completed a store expansion and a remodel, increasing its presence in various communities.
In 2025, The Home Depot Foundation invested $10 million to advance skilled trades education through partnerships such as those with the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Path to Pro program. These initiatives aim to introduce young people to careers in skilled trades.
Environmental efforts continued through collaboration with the Arbor Day Foundation. This partnership resulted in thousands of trees being planted nationwide to promote greener communities.
The company responded to several natural disasters during the year. Tornadoes in St. Louis, floods in Central Texas, and Hurricane Melissa’s impact on Jamaica prompted The Home Depot and its partners to provide resources for recovery efforts. A new disaster response page was launched to help connect communities with ongoing support initiatives.
The Home Depot expanded its military exchange program this year, aiming to make shopping more accessible for service members and veterans while broadening resource access for military families. “During our annual Celebration of Service campaign, Team Depot completed over 1,000 volunteer projects to honor those who served, including a 100-year-old veteran in San Diego. The Home Depot Foundation also invested $30 million toward veteran causes, ensuring thousands more veterans have a safe, accessible place to call home.”
Wildfires in Southern California led The Home Depot Foundation to commit $3 million for recovery and rebuilding efforts. Essential supplies were distributed quickly by The Home Depot teams as part of their ongoing support.
A milestone was reached with the completion of the 100th smart home for veterans built alongside the Gary Sinise Foundation. These homes are specially adapted for wounded veterans’ needs. Additionally, partnerships with Meals on Wheels America and Purple Heart Homes led to thousands of critical home repairs for those in need.
“As we close the book on 2025, we’re reminded that every project, every partnership, and every act of service is part of something bigger. Here’s to another year of doing good, giving back, and making a difference,” said representatives from The Home Depot.
