Brush Up Buffalo Plans to Paint Homes June 18

More than a dozen homes in the Kensington-Bailey neighborhood will be painted this year as part of Brush Up Buffalo 2005, scheduled for June 18.

The announcement was made Thursday during the program's annual drive for volunteers to do the painting. Organizers are hoping for 750 to 1,000 volunteers to paint 15 homes or more, depending on what additional donations and grants become available, officials said.

Brush Up Buffalo is an all-volunteer organization that repaints and revitalizes more than a dozen homes each June in Buffalo during an all-day event.
