A fresh coat of paint can do more than brighten a building—it can help create a sense of welcome, dignity, and community.
Over the course of a two-day volunteer beautification project at Gateway West, volunteers helped create a more welcoming and dignified space for residents experiencing homelessness. On the first day, volunteers from Calvary Church dedicated their time and talents to painting the shelter's entryway. In addition to volunteering, Calvary Church generously provided the painting supplies that made this project possible. On the second day, community volunteers joined the effort, continuing the work and demonstrating the power of collective action by finishing the trim and the stairway.
A heartfelt thank you to the volunteers from Calvary Church and all of the community volunteers who contributed their time, energy, and care to this effort. Your service helps build a more compassionate, connected, and welcoming Albuquerque. 💙
