Webfoot Painting Co., a residential painting company serving Central Oregon, has announced its second annual $5,000 Charity Paint Giveaway. The Bend-based company will select one recipient in the Bend or Redmond area, based on need and compelling story, to receive $5,000 in free paint, labor and materials.

The only criteria: telling a compelling story of why you or someone you care about deserves free painting services.

Webfoot Painting will begin collecting stories from potential recipients for the giveaway via its website, www.webfootpainting.com, on Jan. 3. Stories will be collected through Feb. 28. The company will select a winner in March.

Last year’s winner, the Ronald McDonald House of Bend, hadn’t been painted in more than 12 years and was in severe need; $5,000 worth of painting would only enable the painters and volunteers to put “lipstick and mascara” on the building. Instead, the paint donation was tripled, and the team worked for four days restoring the exterior of the house. In all, the project would have cost about $20,000 had house manager Mardi Bruce not submitted the charity’s story for consideration.
