BOISE, Idaho — BOISE, Idaho -- Paint The Town™, a NeighborWorks program, has been lending a hand to veterans, disabled, and senior neighbors for over 40 years. This year’s 42nd event takes place June 8. Paint the Town gives residents a newly painted home that enables them to remain in their home longer and revitalizes the neighborhood in which they live. Every June hundreds of volunteers form teams and paint these houses. Since 1982, volunteer teams have painted over 3,400 homes of disabled, veteran and senior neighbors throughout Ada County.
VOLUNTEER/FORM A TEAM
Would you like to volunteer to help Paint the Town? You can help make a huge difference in someone’s life by creating a volunteer team of at least 10 people to fix, prep and paint a home.
Your contribution helps purchase paint and supplies to spruce up homes for low-income, veterans, senior and disabled neighbors who can neither afford nor physically manage routine home maintenance. Since Paint the Town started in 1982, over 12,000 volunteers have revitalized more than 3,400 homes. Due to increased costs of paint, supplies, and program operations, your help is needed to make sure that Paint the Town TM continues for years to come.
Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity
This year Boise Valley Habitat for Humanity will complete home repairs for up to 12 of the Paint the Town homes. This will increase the impact of the program and help preserve home ownership for eligible neighbors. To apply for their program, please fill out the preliminary questionnaire at the link below.
