SALT LAKE CITY, Utah; Mar. 14, 2024— Zions Bank is inviting the
public to nominate homes for its employees to spruce up with a fresh coat of
exterior paint during its annual Paint-a-Thon service project.
Entering its 32st year, Paint-a-Thon benefits
low-income elderly, disabled, and veteran residents in communities across Utah
and Idaho. Typically, homes are referred to Zions Bank by city and state
housing agencies, aging services, community organizations and local churches.
This year, the public is invited to nominate up to half of the 35 homes
employees plan to scrape, paint and landscape.
To qualify for consideration, homeowners must meet federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income guidelines, detailed
on Zions Bank’s website, Zionsbank.com/paintathon —
which includes the link to the nomination form. Questions may be directed
to ZionsBankEvents@zionsbank.com. Nominations are due by
April 15, 2024.
In addition to painting, Zions employees will provide yard
clean-up, pruning, mowing, planting and minor repairs as needed by homeowners.
The cost for all paint and supplies is contributed by Zions Bank.
Launched in 1991, Zions Bank’s Paint-a-Thon began as a volunteer
project for a dozen homes along Utah’s Wasatch Front. Over the past three
decades years, Zions Bank employees have put aside summer pastimes for a week
each year — volunteering in the evenings after work and on Saturday — to paint
nearly 1,300 homes throughout Idaho and Utah. Not counting the dollar value of
volunteer hours through the years, the bank has donated more than $1.4 million
toward beautifying homes in the two states.
