House Painting Project

9:00 AM to 4:00 PM
The Dyess We Care Team will kick off its first home transformation project of 2026 on Saturday, April 11th, with a powerful mission: serving a disabled Marine veteran and amputee in the Abilene community.
Beginning at 9:00 AM and a second shift at noon, more than 40 students from Dyess Airmen Leadership School will join forces with core Dyess We Care Team volunteers and community partner Honey Do Services, Inc. to completely repaint the veteran’s home located at 1634 North 7th Street. This is more than restoring a house, but a sense of pride and dignity for a veteran.
Overseeing this ambitious effort is Team Leader SSgt Chris Bryant, who will be guiding the project from start to finish and mentoring the next generation of Air Force leaders throughout the day.
The homeowner, Mr. Padilla, has entrusted the entire design to the team. In a meaningful departure from our usual colorful pallet, our volunteers are embracing a bold black-and-white color scheme that we chose to reflect strength and a timeless, masculine character fitting of a Marine.
