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.

Global Paint for Charity Programs

OUR WORK
The Global Paint for Charity (GPC) is a non-profit organization incorporated in Georgia, U.S.A. Our mission is to collect leftover paint from residents and businesses nationwide and use it for global housing rehabilitation projects including homes, schools, hospitals, orphanages and churches for vulnerable families in developing countries. Through the support of our donors and partners we are able to protect the environment, increase access to quality paints in developing countries, change lives and transform communities one gallon at a time.
         
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that every home in the U.S. has 3 to 4 gallons of leftover paints in its basement and 10 percent of those paints ends up in landfills every day. One gallon of improperly disposed paint has the ability to pollute up to 250,000 gallons of water. By participating in our program, individuals and businesses will take greater steps to protect the environment, and improve living conditions for vulnerable populations throughout the world. If you would like to support the Global Paint for Charity, we encourage you to take action today or Click HERE!

Improve access of high quality paints to vulnerable populations around the world. Nearly 2.5 billion people in developing countries live on less than $2 a day for them paint is very expensive. In these settings, it is very difficult for families to secure sufficient income for their basic needs such as food, medicine, water, clothes, school supplies, and shelter. When making consumption choices that involve spending on these goods there is nothing left to spend on paint.
