Keep McAllen Beautiful is kicking off its annual Paint McAllen Beautiful project. Qualifying program applicants include residents of McAllen who own a home, are of low income, 60 years of age or older, or of any age with a permanent disability. Keep McAllen Beautiful is able to fund paint and supplies for the project through grant funding. Qualifying applicants will have their home painted free of charge.

“Keep McAllen Beautiful adopted the idea in an effort to help beautify the community, while providing a much-desired service for those in need of maintaining their homes,” said KMB Program Coordinator Chris Lash. “A freshly painted home helps beautify the neighborhood and lifts the spirits of those who reside there. If you are a McAllen resident who is of low income, elderly or disabled and would like to obtain an application to be considered for the project, please contact Keep McAllen Beautiful.”

Additionally, Keep McAllen Beautiful is accepting volunteers for the event. Volunteers may sign up online.
