Volunteer to form a painting team!

Fort Worth HR has sponsored a team of 20 volunteers to assist the Trinity Habitat for Humanity to help with minor exterior rehabs and give homes a fresh coat of paint in communities around Fort Worth.

We aim to brighten up the neighborhoods and help the homeowners, many of whom are elderly residents on fixed incomes who can no longer do this work independently. The transformation that occurs in a single day with the help of volunteers is amazing!

Date:  4/11/2026 8:00am (No joking around here!!!)

Limited to the first 20 members that sign up for April 11^th, 2026.  
Age restriction: 12+

Our local Habitat team has requested volunteer groups bring at least three ladders of varying heights to this event. Please indicate if you have one during registration.

Additional information including address will be sent to registrants in advance of April 11^th, 2026. Download waivers and bring to Nick Dorgan onsite on April 11^th.
