United We Paint is a collection of community-conscious companies that have joined together by uniting their financial and employee resources to help those less fortunate by implementing a series of volunteer community-beautification initiatives usually involving painting and landscaping homes and schools.
Description:
Thousands of volunteers make a dramatic difference by painting and renovating the exterior of homes owned by low-income seniors, military families in need, and those physically and/or mentally challenged.
Volunteers also beautify schools & community buildings including: day care centers, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, senior community centers, and non-profit facilities.
Volunteer teams are comprised of our corporate partners' employees and local community citizens.
We invite you to participate with your neighbors to improve the life of someone desperately needing your help. Everything is provided and the entire family is welcome. We hope you join us and enjoy the events.
History:
During the last nine years, 10,000 volunteers have united to contribute back to their communities utilizing the United We Paint model. This combined effort has resulted in the revitalization of 420 homes of individuals and families and 58 schools and community buildings.
The local communities receiving assistance have received more than $3,000,000 of beautification services.
The homes of low-income seniors, mentally/physically challenged individuals, and disadvantaged families; public schools; day-care centers; maternity homes; teen/youth centers; community centers; and senior recreation facilities have received the benefit of being selected for beautification by our partners and volunteers.
The true impact cannot be measured in quarts and gallons. Thousands of volunteers devoted countless hours of energy in transforming these houses into homes that owners can be proud of once again.
Schools and community buildings were transformed from eyesores in their neighborhoods to revitalized, freshly painted buildings that change the attitudes and outlooks of children, teachers, families, and seniors.
