A Brush With Kindness (ABWK) is a neighborhood revitalization program where volunteers from neighborhood groups, businesses, churches and community agencies provide exterior work for low-income homeowners who are challenged by age, disability, or circumstance. ABWK works in cooperation with communities to target neighborhoods that can benefit from an intense, concentrated effort.

A Brush with Kindness brings resources, volunteers, and homeowners together to paint, landscape, perform minor repairs and general cleanup of the exterior of homes in a concentrated neighborhood effort. Qualifying homeowners receive the service at no up-front cost, pledge to financially help another homeowner when they refinance or sell their homes and work side by side with volunteers to complete the restoration of their home. The ABWK program helps individuals live in a safe, decent home and helps restore hope and dignity to their lives.

Your charitable gift to A Brush With Kindness will help buy materials and tools for our home repairs. You may make a secure online donation through our website or become an ABWK Sponsor.
