Housing Beautification Volunteer: Painting Project
Help us create safe, welcoming homes for families working toward housing stability! Join Family Promise of Lawrence for a hands-on painting project at one of our housing units.
Volunteers will primarily be painting an exterior porch/deck to help protect the structure from the elements while improving the home's appearance. This project takes place outdoors, so volunteers should dress for the weather and wear clothing that can get paint on it.
If weather conditions prevent outdoor painting or if the porch/deck project is completed ahead of schedule, volunteers may have the opportunity to assist with interior painting at a nearby Family Promise housing unit.
No painting experience is required. We will provide paint, brushes, rollers, and other necessary supplies. Staff will be on-site to provide instructions and answer questions throughout the project.
Why it matters: A well-maintained home helps create a sense of pride, dignity, and stability for families rebuilding their lives after experiencing homelessness. Your time and effort will directly improve the spaces where children and parents live, making them feel more welcoming, comfortable, and cared for.
What to wear:
- Comfortable clothing that can get paint on it
- Closed-toe shoes
- Sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses) if working outdoors
- Water bottle (recommended)
Thank you for helping us maintain safe, welcoming homes for the families we serve. Every brushstroke makes a difference!
