A Brush with Kindness Program

A Brush with Kindness is a meaningful opportunity to serve others. Individuals and groups can bring hope to someone who needs help maintaining their home.

How we do it

Groups of volunteers help homeowners with exterior maintenance. This typically includes painting, minor exterior repairs, landscaping, weatherization and exterior clean-up.

  • Habitat selects partner families based on income, need and willingness to partner.
  • In addition to volunteers, Habitat uses donated materials and takes no profit for their services.

Payments made by the homeowners are placed in a revolving fund to help A Brush with Kindness serve others in need.

Neighborhoods that partner with Habitat for Humanity help us to become more familiar with the needs of the neighborhood, assist in referring qualified homeowners, and identify neighborhood areas that have the most need. Some neighborhoods assist with acquiring volunteer and financial resources.

With a moderate investment of funds and the use of volunteer labor, Habitat for Humanity can now help low-income homeowners to continue to live in dependently and securely in their homes, remove blight, and, most importantly, help preserve the affordable housing stock in a community.
