This one-day program is designed to give a fresh coat of paint for the region’s nonprofits that do not have the resources or professional skills to spruce up their facilities. At this year’s event, volunteers will be painting and doing landscaping and minor repairs to eight different shelters, and offices for area agencies serving the homeless including organizations such as Clean and Sober, Volunteers of America, Sierra Foothills AIDS Foundation, Sacramento Valley Teen Challenge, PEACE for Families and The Children’s Receiving Home of Sacramento.

Volunteers and donations are up in spite of the current economic situation.
