This year, we're celebrating Ann-Marie Campbell and her four decades of service to The Home Depot. If you've worked with Ann-Marie, you know the impact she makes on associates, customers, stores, and the culture we're so proud of. Since joining the team as a cashier in 1985, to leading more than 2,300 stores and over 400,000 associates across North America, Ann-Marie has helped shape what it means to wear an orange apron. Ann-Marie, thank you for an incredible 40 years! We're lucky to have you and even luckier to call you a colleague and friend.

What started with five women around a single table has become a flourishing justice enterprise employing 35 skilled artisans, partnering with brands like Vera Bradley, and reaching stores across the United States. But beyond the numbers and retail partnerships lies our true measure of success: women empowering women. In "Voices of Hope," you'll meet Wanda, our workshop leader, and the remarkable team whose dedication and craftsmanship pour hope into every product we create. These artisans aren't just making bags—they're supporting their families, breaking cycles, and mentoring the next generation of leaders. Success has never been about scaling production alone—it's about scaling impact. When a woman discovers her worth and potential, she naturally extends that gift to others. That's the beautiful multiplication effect we witness daily in our workshop.
