First layer set of paint
Full Container
Volunteers
Today we loaded this 46 ft. container with 4,400 gallons of Latex paint to send to Honduras, El Salvador, Belize and Guatemala! The paint was collected from all major top brands including Ralph Laurent, Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Behr, Glidden and Valspar and a has Book Value of $32,000. It is the first largest shipment of paint for the Global Paint organization since founded two years ago. Global Paint is so grateful to Vanguard Logistics Services and NACA Logistics (USA), Inc. for their generous support of this shipment. Vanguard dropped off the container on Friday, and GPC volunteers and supporters worked around the clock on Saturday and Sunday loading the trailer. Vanguard picked up the container with over 4,400 gallons of paint at Cornerstone Church of Duluth, Georgia today.
Thanks to our new partners and friends at Colores Americas for
their support, they will deliver and distribute the paint to Honduras,
El Salvador, Belize and Guatemala! This is a dream come true that we’ve
actually shipped the largest consolidated paint to those who need it the
most even in Central America. This is a big step in a long journey for
GPC organization. We hope to soon collect 20,000 gallons to earthquake
victims in Haiti as well. We continue to receive numerous requests from
throughout the world for paint, particularly for housing rehabilitation
projects at churches, schools and orphanages.
So far, we have received $900 in cash contribution from Gwinnett
County's Solid Waste and Recovered Materials Division, and 1,150 gallons
of paint from our Earth Day recycling Event this year. We continue to
collect all paint donations from businesses and residents nationwide,
consolidate it and work with our partners to send large shipments of
paint to developing countries around the world.
We thank the Media for their generosity and support. They have
done an excellent job by supporting the GPC organization by informing
the community at large the works we are doing at Global Paint for
Charity. Also special thanks to all our volunteers, many generous donors
and supporters. Without you all we would not have been able to provide
major top brand paint products to those in needs.
