Valspar, Habitat unveil house of paint cans
To celebrate the donation of over 1 million gallons of paint to Habitat for Humanity International, Valspar created a two-storey home made of Valspar
paint cans at an event in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Valspar
has donated cash and paint cans to Habitat for Humanity
since 1979. The company developed a close relationship
with the organization and created A Brush with Kindness,
a program transforming neighborhoods through the revitalization of the home exterior.
“Our corporate theme is ‘if it matters, we’re on it.’ Through
our wonderful relationship with Habitat for Humanity
International, we continue to learn just how much affordable
housing matters, and it is our great pleasure to help address
this important need,” said William Mansfield, Valspar chair-
man and CEO in a statement. “We are also very proud that A
Brush with Kindness, a pilot effort that started right here in
the Twin Cities, is now a national program.”
“One million gallons of paint is an important milestone,
but what we’re really celebrating is how our partnership
with Habitat for Humanity has allowed Valspar the unique
opportunity to transform neighborhoods, by putting fresh
coats of paint on homes,” said Gary Hendrickson, Valspar
president and COO in a statement.
Valspar and Habitat for Humanity recently celebrated the one-millionth donated can of paint with a house made
of paint cans.
