The 30th Annual Community Paint-A-Thon will be held on September 16, 2017. To qualify, homes must be owned and occupied by people with limited financial resources. The homeowner must be at least 60 years of age or have a permanent disability or be a veteran of any age. Once a home is determined eligible, volunteer teams are matched to do the scraping, priming and painting of the house. The Community Paint-A-Thon covers ten townships including Barrington, Elk Grove, Hanover, Maine, New Trier, Niles, Northfield, Palatine, Schaumburg, and Wheeling. Current Homeowners Insurance is also required. For general information or to receive an application for the Paint-A-Thon, call the Senior Center at 847-588-8420.
