Helping homeowners tackle tough exterior projects

Habitat for Humanity Greater Salt Lake Area's Brush with Kindness program utilizes volunteers to help low-income homeowners who, because of age, disability, and family circumstances, are unable to address exterior maintenance and repair issues. This program serves homeowners in Salt Lake, Tooele, and Davis Counties. To be eligible, homeowners must fall in the low-to-moderate income category, be US Citizens or legal resident aliens, and have one or more challenges that prevent them from addressing issues on their own.

Our latest Brush with Kindness project, October 2024

Volunteers are transforming the yard of Ruby, a local senior in need.

Together, volunteers have cleared 50 large branches and filled 24 eighty-gallon bags with yard waste, making a big difference for Ruby. She has been unable to tend to her yard herself, and maintenance needs snowballed. In addition to tidying up the yard, our amazing volunteers helped build custom doors for Ruby’s shed, which had been exposed to the elements. They also removed weeds, cleaned up her garden, and installed new siding and roof shingles on the shed.  It took hours of hard work and dedication, and we are incredibly grateful to the corporations that sponsored Brush with Kindness days, making Ruby feel safe and cared for.
