A Brush with Kindness

What is A Brush With Kindness (ABWK)

* A Brush with Kindness is an exterior home preservation program that provides painting, landscaping, weather stripping and minor repair services for homeowners in need.
* ABWK helps low-income homeowners impacted by age, disability and family circumstances, who struggle to maintain the exterior of their homes, reclaim their homes with pride and dignity. 
* ABWK serves as a companion to our core building program, enabling us to serve more families, increase opportunities for volunteers and expand our base of sponsors. 
* A Brush with Kindness is part of Habitat’s broader community development strategy, a holistic approach, which assists communities as well as families.
* It revitalizes the appearance of the neighborhood, strengthens connections within the community, and helps preserve and create affordable housing stock.
