Recommend a Home for Paint Your Heart Out 2019

We’re NeighborWorks Salt Lake, a non-profit that focuses on comprehensive neighborhood revitalization in Salt Lake County by helping people buy homes, fix homes, and get involved in their community.

We’re hosting our 34^th annual Paint Your Heart Out event on Saturday, August 10, 2019. Paint Your Heart Out brings volunteers together to paint the exterior of homes of homeowners who are elderly, have a disability, are veterans, and/or earn less than 80% area median income.

Our goal is to help homeowners who cannot physically or financially paint their homes. There are many benefits, including:

§  Residents feel like a valued part of their community

§  Volunteers feel they have made a postive impact

§  Neighborhoods benefit from curb appeal

Recommend a Homeowner! Complete our online “Recommend a Home” form – it takes about one minute.

Please help us get the word out!
