Our Paint the Town volunteer service event was a great success this month, with a week of hands-on on activities helping seniors in the Greater Lackawanna area. A total of five older adults (all clients of our Aging in Place program) were assisted with interior/exterior painting, landscaping, an installation of an outdoor rug and other minor home improvement work. An additional four older adults received safety kit installations. The repairs and improvements have made the homes safer, while adding to the visual appeal of the neighborhood.
We are especially thankful to volunteers from The AZEK Company, PS Mortgage, and Marywood University for offering their time and talents to assist older adults during Paint the Town. Over 212 volunteer hours were logged across 39 volunteers, with over $6,000 worth of volunteer labor performed. Without their assistance, we could not achieve our goals of improving quality of life for our neighbors.
Stay tuned for the details of our next community service event in the spring!
