Our 2025 Paint It Forward Recipient: Saranam!

We're thrilled to share our group photo from the 8th Annual Paint it Forward event - a day filled with generosity, teamwork, and true community spirit! This yearly tradition continues to grow, and this year was no exception. Volunteers from our painting team, concrete coating team, and our amazing partners at Sherwin-Williams came together to donate their time, skills and big hearts to make a difference.


From prepping walls to rolling on fresh color, everyone showed up ready to transform a space for a deserving organization. It's events like these that remind us how powerful it is when people come together with a shared purpose. 

We are incredibly happy to have Saranam as the winner of our Paint It Forward 2025 project!


Saranam is a remarkable organization that provides a two-generational residential program designed to help families break free from homelessness and poverty - permanently. Their approach stands out because it's holistic and long-term. Instead of focusing solely on immediated needs like shelter or food, they address the root causes by working with the entire family over time.


Their integrated services include:

  • Safe, stable housing
  • Educational support and life skills training
  • Strong community connections


With a proven 76% success rate, Saranam's model empowers families to build the foundation they need to thrive for generations. We couldn't be more honored to support their mission through our next Paint It Forward project.


We painted the exterior of their residential home, giving the people in their program a refreshed space they can feel proud of and truly at home in.
