Riverside Veterans Benefit from Habitat for Humanity's "A Brush With Kindness" Initiative

Local volunteers from Habitat for Humanity of Riverside and Bank of America are teaming up to paint a mobile home for a low-income veteran and his wife in Riverside.

This project is part of Habitat's "A Brush With Kindness" home repair program. It offers free minor exterior repairs, clean-up, and painting to low-income homeowners who can't do the work themselves.

David Hahn, Executive Director of Habitat Riverside, says, "Our 'A Brush With Kindness' program really helps Riverside's low-to-moderate income homeowners. It's a big part of our goal to provide safe and secure homes."

Homeowners Tom and Vicki Callari are thankful to Habitat Riverside and Bank of America for "helping make our home look good again."

The teamwork between Habitat for Humanity Riverside and Bank of America goes beyond just money. Bank employees often volunteer their time to help with various projects.

Bansree Parikh, president of Bank of America in the Inland Empire, explains, "We've been working with Habitat for Humanity Riverside for a long time. We see the amazing impact they have on families and the community by providing affordable housing and services."
