An organization that provides free home painting to low-income families wishes to paint as many houses as possible during an annual community event in August. The event, which unites hundreds of volunteers and brings people together not just to paint homes, but to uplift the community, is seeking paint and other supplies so the event’s volunteers have everything they need to do their valuable work.

A community center that provides a broad range of vital services including a food pantry, baby pantry, women’s pantry, senior’s pantry, a special needs program for autistic children and a monthly community health and wellness fair with free medical services has seen a surge of residents needing support. The center wishes to repair and renovate its aging, damaged space so it can increase the number of people it’s able to serve.
