What group/store/organization can donate paint?

Question

I'm about to do my boy scout eagle project and I need paint to be donated because the requirements state i can't buy it myself. Thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

Hello CrazyTrojanFan:

Congratulations on your Eagle Project.

Does your community have a hazardous waste recycling program? They often have half cans of paint that people have dropped off for disposal. Contact the company in your area that does the trash collection.

Does your community have a "Habitat For Humanity" re-store? They collect unwanted items from home remodeling projects, and often end up with containers of paint. Look in the phone book.

Does your community have a large home center like Home Depot or Lowes, or a paint store like Sherwin Williams or other? They often have cans of paint that were ordered, then never picked up, or the color was wrong. Speak with the store manager and ask if they will donate this paint for your project.

Keep on Scoutin'

Maybe try asking your leader to buy you some or ask your parents.
