According to the digital edition of the Fall River Herald, a local painting and renovation contractor is asking the community to vote for one of five Southcoast organizations to be rewarded a free refreshment to their building.

Referred to as the “Paint it Forward '' campaign, ProGroup is asking for community members to vote on who should receive a free facility refresh, new paint job or a power wash. ProGroup President Joann Ruff said this past year was a tough year for everybody and she says she wants to help the best she can to those non-profit organizations affected by the pandemic.

The nominated establishments are: the Schwartz School, The Animal Rescue League of Fall River, The P-A-A-C-A New Bedford, The Boys & Girls Club Taunton Clubhouse and The Zeiterion Performing Arts Center.
