A Fresh Coat of Hope: RPCA and Partners Transform a REAL House
Posted: February 27, 2025 | Author: Real Life Staff
We would like to give a huge shout out to the Richmond chapter of Painting Contractors of America (RPCA) for giving one of our male houses a much-needed facelift! Dozens of professional painters came together to refresh nearly the entire interior, and we were blown away by their generosity, time, and skill.
Joe Lisi (
Joe Lisi’s Quality Painting
), the president of RPCA, says, “Every year, we look for a fitting organization that can benefit from local painters coming together to enhance a space that benefits the community. It is our way of giving back to the community that keeps us in business.” After considering multiple organizations, Joe and his team chose REAL LIFE. “What we enjoyed about the project was that this is the type of project that would have a real impact on the residents. Your organization helps individuals to get back to a real life! Having a welcoming space to come back to after a long day is a great way to reset yourself. We all know how important that is!” We are beyond grateful for RPCA’s commitment to giving back and for choosing to invest in our mission.
In particular, a huge thank you to
