Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is pleased to announce the eight grant recipients of their 2015 Fresh Paint Days Pennsylvania Program.  This year’s event is held in partnership with support from Glidden Professional and The Home Depot. 

Designed to provide community groups with paint and painting supplies, the program enables these groups to renew a community structure in need into something beautiful through the application of fresh paint and a lot of elbow grease.

During the month of September, the grant recipients will transform their structure utilizing up to 20 gallons of exterior paints, courtesy of Glidden Professional and a gift card for painting supplies courtesy of The Home Depot.
