Eager volunteers painted three Fort Madison homes this week.
The Fort Madison Paint-A-Thon, which is organized by Fort Madison Partners, is an annual event that benefits the elderly, the disabled, single parents, military veterans, or anyone without the finances and means to paint their own homes.
Volunteers were deployed by local banks, church groups, Fort Madison Community Health Center, and Siemens Energy, which sent in a volunteer crew for an eight-hour shift on Thursday.
This year’s homes were located at 101 22nd St., 1923 Avenue L, and 3207 Avenue I. The home on Avenue I, painted by the Siemen’s crew, is featured in the photos below.
