Color Care Across America
We participated in the repaint of The Dwelling Place in Norfolk, Virginia on November 2nd. The Dwelling Place, one of Norfolk’s partner programs providing shelter and support to homeless families, received a new paint job thanks to a partnership between the US Conference of Mayors, Benjamin Moore Paints, and the Paint and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA). We have some pictures of the event on our Facebook page.
