Brush With Kindness THIS FRIDAY


Hello, all!

An opportunity I forgot to mention at our meeting last night! We'll be having A Brush With Kindness this Friday (in addition to out build on Saturday!). Requirements for ABWK's are the same as builds- wear closed-toed and closed-heel shoes (sneakers, work books, or the like!) and clothes that you're comfortable getting dirty, sweaty, and paint on! We provide lunch and snacks, and are more than happy to arrange carpools! Please bring a water bottle to be sustainable and to reduce the chance that we run out of cups.

A Brush with Kindness program ensures that families live in safe, well-maintained homes. Habitat for Humanity's A Brush with Kindness is part of the Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative. This initiative is a holistic approach, assisting communities as well as families. It is designed to revitalize the appearance of the neighborhood, encourages connections within the community, and most importantly, helps preserve affordable housing stock.

Brush with Kindness serves low-income homeowners and focuses on exterior home repairs, including painting, minor repairs, landscaping, and clean-up. Groups of volunteers work alongside the homeowner to revitalize the appearance of a home. Families' eligibility is based on their need, ability to pay and willingness to partner with Habitat. Payments made by the partner family are placed into a revolving fund to help Habitat for Humanity's A Brush with Kindness serve others in need.

Please sign up at the link provided and don't hesitate to email me with any questions!
