Volunteers Paint a Fresh Start for Kansas City Veterans

In Kansas City, Missouri, nearly 100 volunteers spent a day in late October giving a fresh coat of paint to a village of tiny homes. Many of them came during their lunch hour.

The volunteers, with Veterans United Foundation Teams, worked at the Veterans Community Project. The tiny homes there serve as transitional housing for veterans who have been without a place to live, and the organization says the homes are designed with people living with PTSD in mind.

Baxter Nickels, one of the volunteers, said the work reminded him of his own service: small tasks, done faithfully, that add up to a larger mission. The goal, he said, was to help keep the homes in the best shape for the veterans who live there. Other volunteers from the same group also run the project's monthly food pantry.

A little paint may seem like a small thing. For someone who needed a safe place to land, it can feel like a new beginning, and a reminder that God often meets people through ordinary hands willing to help.

“As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”

Galatians 6:10
