Residents in need of outside home maintenance can apply for help from a team of volunteers who will tackle yard clean-ups or single-story exterior painting on some 20 Bellevue homes. The “Day of Sharing and Caring” – now in its 12th year – is a partnership of the City of Bellevue and Jubilee REACH, a Bellevue-based nonprofit.
Outside improvements will take place late July through September. To be considered, you must own and occupy your home in Bellevue. Home selection is need-based; residents facing economic or other life challenges are encouraged to apply.
Interested in volunteering for the Day of Sharing? Businesses or nonprofit groups who would like to help a Bellevue resident are encouraged to register online after June 1 at jubileeREACH.org.
Residents interested in home maintenance help, can request a program brochure and request card from Carol Ross (cross@bellevuewa.gov or 425-452-7917).
A committee representing Jubilee REACH will review the applications and select projects. The deadline for submitting a request is May 31. Residents whose projects are selected will be notified by July 16.
