A Brush with Kindness Offers Exterior Maintenance to Homeowners in Need
Tuesday January 19th, 2010
The Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley has recently launched a new program – A Brush with Kindness – that partners with low-income homeowners to perform exterior maintenance to their homes. The program is aiming to complete ten maintenance projects in 2010 without any cost to the homeowners.
Volunteers within the Brush with Kindness program will complete painting, landscaping and yard cleanup to qualified homeowners in need. The program will also use donated materials to complete the projects when possible.
The homeowners are chosen based on several qualifications, including financial situation, feasibility of the project and the homeowner’s willingness to partner with Habitat for Humanity. The program aligns with Habitat’s mission of ensuring that affordable and decent housing is available to low-income families.
The program is underwritten by a grant from Valspar, Habitat’s National Paint Partner. Potential applicants for the Brush with Kindness Program can contact Justin Lucas at 847-836-1432 or visit their website for more informtion.
Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International. As all affiliates, its mission is to build homes for qualifying families in our area, selling them at cost and using volunteer labor to control these costs.
