Each year, on the first weekend in August, Metro Paint-A-Thon rallies volunteer teams from corporations, congregations and civic groups to paint the homes of seniors and people with disabilities. The program helps homeowners remain living independently in their own homes and improves neighborhoods throughout the Twin Cities seven-county metropolitan area. Applications are currently being accepted for this summer. Eligible homeowners must be over 60 or have a permanent disability, own and occupy a single-family home that does not require major repairs in Hennepin county or other specific county within the metro area and meet specific income guidelines. The application deadline is April 12, 2013. Applicants will be notified by July 15 if they are selected for the 2013 Paint-A-Thon or referred to another organization for assistance. For applications and further information, call 612-276-1579 or go to www.paintathon.gmcc.org.
