"Healing Spaces" Paint Days

Description

We’re really excited to finally move forward with something we’ve been wanting to do for a while. We’ll be refreshing the Teresa Shelter to create a space that feels more peaceful, welcoming, and healing for both our residents and staff.

As part of this project, we’ll be:

  • Repainting the entire shelter
  • Adding a large mural in the back dorm area
  • Updating doors with fresh finishes
  • Deep cleaning and reorganizing spaces
  • Adding simple “wayfinding” signs to help new residents feel more comfortable navigating the building

We are planning to complete this project July 14–16, and we would love your help to make it happen!

Volunteer Opportunities

We’ll have two shifts available each day:

  • Morning Shift: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
  • Afternoon Shift: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
    (Lunch will not be provided, so please plan accordingly)

Volunteers will help with:

  • Painting walls and touch-ups
  • Taping and prep work (especially Day 1)
  • General cleaning and organizing
  • Supporting staff with project needs
  • Light moving/resetting of furniture

This project is more than just paint—it’s about creating a space that feels safe, peaceful, and dignified for the women and children we serve every day.

If you’re able to help, even for one shift, we would be so grateful.

Thank you for being part of what we’re building here
