A Brush with Kindness VOLUNTEERS:

�A Brush with Kindness� provides services such as painting, caulking, landscaping, minor repairs, and exterior clean-up. We use volunteers, donated paint and donated materials to make exterior improvements, helping low-income neighbors reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. This program provides a unique opportunity to enable us to offer more services, serve more families, increase opportunities for volunteers, and spread the impact of our mission.

We are currently seeking volunteers for the �A Brush with Kindness� program. There is no minimum skill level requirement. If you, your school group, your company, or your church would like to volunteer for a workday, please contact Michelle Morales, Volunteer Coordinator.

Team Leaders are also needed for the �A Brush with Kindness� program. Team Leaders organize and prepare their team of volunteers for the task of working on a home. They will also help coordinate the work and supplies of the project by working closely with the Volunteer Coordinator. Experience in working with groups and/or skill in painting or landscaping is especially needed.
