A fresh coat of paint helps brighten the sense of pride within a school and its surrounding community. Introduced in 2009, Painting a Brighter Future partners with True Value retailers across the country to identify schools in greatest need to receive up to 40 gallons of paint to help provide physical improvements. As the program expands in 2010, more than 100 schools in True Value communities will be awarded enough paint to provide coverage for over one million square feet of classrooms.

The 2010 program is now closed. Look for details on the 2011 program in the Fall.
