Painting it Forward

Giving Back to the

Community

A smile can go a long way. Just ask Patricia Wildenborg, Doug Welch, or Jennifer Pederson, past recipients of The Smile Affect project. That’s right, affect with an A because this project truly touches the feelings of those it affects.

With this project, we paint it forward by giving away a full exterior painting transformation to a deserving family. We asked the community for nominations and boy, did you respond! Our team decided to choose not one but two deserving families for our first Smile Affect project.

Our second annual Smile Affect turned out even more of a response with an overwhelming amount of people coming together to nominate Patricia Wildenborg. We updated her home to a bright blue color that she selected and built her a new ramp for her home. Thank you for introducing us to Pat and her family!

The van, offering exterior and interior commercial painting services, has "Smile A Mile Painting" written on its side and a sign that reads "We ♥ Tri-Cities". The background features trees.

“I was this year’s recipient and I appreciate it very much. I think it was a terrific crew, they did a great job, and they enjoyed themselves while doing their job.”

Patricia had multiple nominations for our annual smile affect project by family and community members. She was nominated for the work she’s done in our community and how many peoples life she affected in being a schoolteacher and an active member of her church. Family and friends gathered to help us welcome her as a 2019 recipient of the smile effect.

“I had the best month that I’ve had in years with what Smile-A-Mile has blessed me with. It was more than just a house painting ; it was a house makeover.”

Doug had multiple nominations for our inaugural Smile Affect project. Doug was nominated for the work he does in the community with comments such as, “this guy changed my life, this guy help me out.” What does Doug do that had such a great impact on so many? He builds wheelchairs for dogs who are paralyzed or don’t have their legs – for free.

For this project, we replaced a water damaged wall then scraped and masked before painting the full exterior of Doug’s home.
