WHY A PAINT DRIVE?
Murals take a lot of paint and tools to make happen. In order to cut material costs and be as eco-friendly as possible, our team decided paint drives were the way to go. Most importantly, the more we can reuse the more we can give back to those who need it most, meaning the money we save we can put towards supporting minority owned businesses in our communities.
