Painters Plus is proud to announce the launch of its 15th annual Project HOPE (Helping Others Paint Exteriors), a charitable initiative that provides a free exterior paint job to a deserving North Tonawanda homeowner in need.
Since its inception in 2010, Project HOPE has donated over $100,000 worth of professional painting services to homeowners facing financial, physical or health-related hardships. This locally rooted program was created by Niagara County Legislator Jesse Gooch, owner of Painters Plus Home Decorating, as a way to give back to the North Tonawanda community through compassion, service, and a fresh coat of paint.
“Fifteen years ago, we saw an opportunity to use our skills to make a real difference in people’s lives,” Gooch said. “It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re honored to continue serving our neighbors year after year.”
