For the Tomahawk Leader
TOMAHAWK – Kinship of Tomahawk will refresh its learning environment this summer after being selected as the winner of a grant.
Qualheim’s True Value of Tomahawk announced on Tuesday, June 20 that it had awarded Kinship with 15 gallons of high-quality EasyCare paint, which will go towards giving the facility on E. Wisconsin Ave. a makeover.
“The more than 50 youth will enjoy learning in the newly-painted facility,” a release from Qualheim’s stated.
The grant is part of the True Value Foundation’s Painting a Brighter Future program, which Qualheim’s said helps improve learning environments and can have an impact on youth attitudes and performance.
More than 2,300 schools and youth-development focused organizations across the country have been awarded paint since the program’s inception in 2009, covering over 25 million square feet of learning space.
“Through True Value Foundation’s Painting a Brighter Future program, we’re able to help Kinship of Tomahawk and give back to the community we love to serve,” Qualheim’s stated. “The donation will not only save the organization money, but more importantly will create an environment that fosters learning, inspires creativity and instills community pride.”
True Value Foundation unites retailers in helping improve the lives of children in the communities True Value serves.
“The foundation advocates for youth and serves as a catalyst to provide tools and resources to help youth realize their dreams and achieve their potential,” Qualheim’s said. “We encourage our partners to get involved and give back through volunteerism, mentorship, community improvements, and raising funds.”
