Paint Your Heart Out
Beautifying Neighborhoods One House at a Time
August, 2025
ABOUT
Every August, over 250 volunteers from local businesses, community organizations, and corporations come together to paint the homes of individuals with disabilities, veterans, and limited-income homeowners in Salt Lake County in our annual Paint Your Heart Out event.
Since the inception in 1985, NeighborWorks Salt Lake has painted over 823 homes in the community. Our goal of helping homeowners who cannot physically or financially paint their home themselves has many positive impacts, not just for the house itself but for everyone involved. By beautifying just one home, the homeowners feel like a valued part of their community, the neighbors get inspired to spruce up their homes too, and the volunteers know they can truly make a difference for others.
