For 20 years, Paint Your Heart Out has been helping out elderly, disabled, or low-income homeowners by giving their properties a facelift at no cost to the homeowner. Paint Your Heart Out, Inc is a volunteer driven non profit organization that helps low income, senior, disabled, and veteran homeowners maintain their dignity, safety and connections to the community by painting and providing homeowners with essential repairs and upkeep to their homes.
A private, non-profit organization, Paint Your Heart Out recruits volunteers from the community and uses donated supplies and materials or those bought with donations to repair, and refurbish homes for low income, senior or disabled Anaheim homeowners.The organization gives minor exterior repairs, yard cleanup, and paint jobs to qualified homeowners, free of charge.
Criteria for the recipients includes: low income according to HUD guidelines, owns their home, has an Anaheim address and is either over 65 years old or receiving disability. Since 1991, over 1000 homes have been refurbished, a value of 7.5 million dollars in neighborhood improvements.
Neighbors coming together to help neighbors... that is what I really love about this concept! Everyone needs a little help sometimes and we can be that help. Maybe we cannot volunteer to paint houses in Anaheim, CA , but we can make a donation. How about taking the example and starting a similar project in your area. Or how about getting a group of friends together and helping someone in your area who needs help.
