What is the PCA Paint It Forward Initiative?

The Paint It Forward program, initiated by the Painting Contractors Association (PCA), is designed to give back to local communities by providing painting services to deserving organizations or families in need. PCA is the leading authority in the painting industry, offering resources, education, and support for professional contractors across the country. This initiative fosters community involvement and creates meaningful change through the power of paint.

LoCOl Paint is excited to join forces with PCA for the 2025 conference, which will be hosted right here in Colorado Springs at the Broadmoor Hotel from February 3-7, 2025. The conference will bring together painting professionals from across the country, united by their passion for their craft and commitment to serving their communities.

Why CPCD Matters to Colorado Springs

CPCD (Community Partnership for Child Development) is an organization that transforms the lives of young children and families through comprehensive early childhood education and family support programs. As the local provider of Head Start and Early Head Start, CPCD serves over 2,000 children annually in Colorado Springs and the surrounding areas, focusing on:

• Education: Offering quality early childhood programs that prepare children for lifelong success.
• Health Services: Providing healthcare screenings, nutrition services, and mental health support.
• Family Empowerment: Supporting parents and caregivers through resources that help them achieve economic stability and self-sufficiency.

By supporting CPCD, we are directly investing in the future of our community. Early childhood education has been proven to set a foundation for success, leading to improved academic outcomes, healthier families, and stronger neighborhoods.

How Paint It Forward Will Make a Difference

With the help of PCA, LoCOl Paint, and other generous volunteers, we will:

1. Beautify and Restore CPCD Facilities: Fresh coats of paint will brighten learning environments and create a welcoming atmosphere for children, families, and staff.
2. Inspire Community Involvement: By taking part in Paint It Forward, we hope to inspire other businesses and individuals to contribute to local organizations like CPCD.
3. Support CPCD’s Mission: A revitalized environment will support CPCD’s incredible efforts to provide life-changing resources to families in need.

For children, a cheerful and clean environment can make all the difference. A bright classroom becomes a place where imaginations grow, friendships form, and confidence builds. For families, it sends a message that they are valued and supported by their community.

A Collective Effort for a Brighter Future

We are honored to play a role in this collaborative effort with PCA and CPCD. At LoCOl Paint, we know that painting is about more than just walls – it’s about transformation, impact, and community connection. This partnership allows us to use our expertise to create meaningful change in Colorado Springs, one brushstroke at a time.

As the PCA conference approaches, we look forward to welcoming painting professionals from across the country to our city. Together, we will leave a lasting legacy of service and compassion for the families served by CPCD.
