Community service opportunity to help those in need

Douglas County 4-H community, here's an opportunity to help Castle Rock residents.

Volunteers and applicants are being recruited for the Castle Rock Fire and Rescue Department's fifth annual Paint-a-Thon to be held in September.

Volunteers help fire department members prepare and paint the homes of Castle Rock residents who are physically or financially unable to do so themselves. Up to three homes will be given a face-lift Saturday, September 26 and Saturday, October 3. Each day begins at 8:00 a.m. and continues until 5:00 p.m. or when finished.

Volunteers should sign up by Monday, September 14. Participants must be at least 16 years old or accompanied by an adult.

All materials needed are provided, and volunteers get snacks, water, and lunch. Additional information and application forms for both volunteers and homeowners are available for download on the Fire page at www.CRgov.com or by calling 303-660-1066.
