Grab a Paintbrush Today

The Day Street Community Center in East Stroudsburg is holding a volunteer workday today (Friday) from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and you don't have to be a pro to help. Lowe's Red Vest associates will be there, and drop-in volunteers can pitch in on painting, drywall patching, taping, and floor prep. Tools and supplies are provided; just wear clothes you don't mind getting paint on.

The center is $14K short of its $110K renovation goal, even with the $50K Lowe's grant we told you about in August. The work covers new flooring, lighting, and paint throughout, plus a new sports surface and acoustic panels in the gym, the only indoor facility in the Stroud Region park system. Naming rights are up for grabs, too: $10K for the gym, $5K for the community room and foyer, and $2.5K for the classroom. Can't make it today? Call 570-426-1512 to donate labor, materials, or cash. The center is at 15 Day St., East Stroudsburg.
