On Friday, November 14^th the Metropolitan New York Coatings Association (MNYCA) took part in a service project in partnership with Rebuilding Together North Jersey (RTNJ) and Home Depot.  RTNJ’s mission is led by the belief that a safe, warm, dry, and healthy home is a quality of life that everyone deserves. The organization’s goal is to helped fixed-income seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, and low-income families. Originally founded by the Junior League of Bergen County in 1998 as Rebuilding Together Bergen County, they are dedicated to providing low-income homeowners with critical repairs and modifications needed to live safely in their homes.
In 2016, they expanded to serve high-needs communities in northern New Jersey, beginning with Paterson and Passaic County.  

Members of the MNYCA spent the day working on a veteran’s house. Participants helped repaint the house, repair a garage door and clean out the yard.

MNYCA Board Member, Dave White noted the event was quite successful.  “It is no wonder that millions of gallons of paint are sold each year,” he said. “The transformation was amazing. Rebuilding Together North Jersey is done with projects for this year but will keep us in mind when the weather breaks next year. It felt great to give back to someone who served this country with honor.”
