Multiple organizatons around the country will offer a hand, including Make it Right, a long-time partner of Benjamin Moore. The organization was founded by actor and philanthropist Brad Pitt, who will be lending his voice in support of the effort that Benjamin Moore is undertaking with Main Street Matters.

“Our Main Streets are the vital hubs of our communities – and Benjamin Moore and our network of independent dealers have always been integral parts of Main Street,” said David Melançon, Chief Marketing Officer of Benjamin Moore. “This investment we’re making in communities around North America is core to our business and to who we are; Main Streets make us who we are and we’re proud to honor that with this effort.”

Benjamin Moore will provide the paint and supplies needed for façades, porches, railings, shutters and other exterior building trims, and color experts will consult on the best choices to enhance the architectural style, regional influences and historic references in each community. Skilled professional painters, many of them members of the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America, will be hired, putting another segment of local business to work along with the local Benjamin Moore retailer who will be mixing the paints that are used.

Once again, online voting is encouraged now through June 30^th, so support Sioux City and submit your vote!
