GARNETT — A project that will bring hundreds of volunteers to Anderson County this summer is looking for 40 people who need to have a house painted or steps repaired. The Anderson County Review reported that the Garnett Area Paint Project is looking for 40 more houses to add to its program, and has extended the deadline to Friday. Applications can be obtained from most churches in Anderson County, from local banks or Garnett City Hall. The project is sponsored by the Garnett Ministerial Alliance and Group Work Camps of Loveland, Col. One of the organizers, Scott Rogers said the paint project will bring hundreds of volunteers – about 320 youth and 80 adults – to Anderson County July 14-20 to paint houses and do minor repair work, primarily building handicapped-accessible ramps or repairing porches and steps. The volunteers come from across the U.S. with the goal of helping rebuild communities, he said.
