The Area 10 Agency on Aging Mobile Food Pantry uses decorated barrels to collect food donations — and after more than a decade of service, they’re in need of a refresh. Some are painted, others are covered in collage art, and many are showing signs of wear.
Here’s what we need help with:
- Stripping off old collage materials (magazine clippings, adhesives, etc.)
- Repainting barrels that are faded or chipped
- Reimagining and redecorating with fresh pictures or paint
- We have around 30 barrels, so this is more than a one-day project, OR a shared effort. If your group can’t take on all 30 barrels, that’s okay — we can divide them up. Every bit helps!
Please note: Volunteers will need to provide their own arts and crafts materials, such as paint, brushes, adhesives, and collage supplies.
Need help with logistics? We can assist with dropping off and picking up barrels to make it easier for your group to participate. Let us know how many barrels your group would like to work on.
Whether you're a community organization, school club, scout troop, or just a group of friends who love a good DIY challenge, we’d love your help.
