Preparation work includes scraping, priming, power washing, and general repair.

Volunteers are asked register through the Give Back Cincinnati website. Lunch will be provided.

Another prep day is scheduled for June 6.

Since its founding, Paint the Town has painted a total of 170 homes in eight Greater Cincinnati communities.
