Does your home need exterior painting or maintenance? You may be eligible for free assistance. In October 2018, Metro Paint-A-Thon transitioned from the Greater Minneapolis Council of Churches to Hearts & Hammers.
Hearts & Hammers’ mission is to provide exterior home improvement help for senior citizens, disabled adults and veterans.
Each year, from June through September, thousands of volunteers provide exterior painting and minor repairs for homeowners throughout the seven-county metro area.
To be Eligible:
- Live in/own single family residence in the Seven County Metro
- At least 60 yrs old, or a disabled individual, or a Veteran of the United States Armed Forces or their Surviving Spouse.
- Total household income (from all sources) must meet income guidelines.
Homeowners can apply at heartsandhammers.org or call 651-636-0797 Ext 2 to have an application mailed to you.
Hearts & Hammers accepts applications all season long; applying does not guarantee your home will be selected. Homes are inspected and selected based on availability of volunteers, materials, and scope of work.
Hearts & Hammers welcomes volunteer groups from companies, community groups, congregations, families, and individuals. If you or a group of friends or coworkers would like to assist a homeowner in need, please call 651-636-0797, ext 2.
