Zions Bank is extending an invitation to the public to nominate homes for its employees to revitalize with a fresh coat of exterior paint during its upcoming annual Paint-a-Thon service project.

Now in its 32nd year, Paint-a-Thon is dedicated to supporting low-income elderly, disabled, and veteran residents in communities across Utah and Idaho. Typically, homes are referred to Zions Bank by city and state housing agencies, aging services, community organizations, and local churches. However, this year, the public has the opportunity to nominate up to half of the 35 homes that employees plan to scrape, paint, and landscape.

To be eligible for consideration, homeowners must meet the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) income guidelines, as detailed on Zions Bank’s website, Zionsbank.com/paintathon. The nomination form can also be found on the website, and any inquiries can be directed to ZionsBankEvents@zionsbank.com. The deadline for nominations is April 15, 2024.

In addition to painting, Zions employees will offer yard clean-up, pruning, mowing, planting, and minor repairs as needed by homeowners. All costs for paint and supplies will be covered by Zions Bank.

The Paint-a-Thon initiative was initiated in 1991, starting as a volunteer project for a dozen homes along Utah’s Wasatch Front. Over the past three decades, Zions Bank employees have dedicated a week each year–volunteering in the evenings after work and on Saturdays–to paint nearly 1,300 homes throughout Idaho and Utah. Excluding the dollar value of volunteer hours, the bank has donated more than $1.4 million toward enhancing homes in the two states.
