Zions Bank employees traded in balance sheets for paint brushes to give a Sandy nonprofit a makeover during the bank’s annual Paint-a-Thon.

About 25 volunteers — including Zions Bank employees and their family members — gathered during the first week of June to spruce up the Medically Vulnerable People Facility, operated by The Road Home, Fourth Street Clinic, and Shelter the Homeless. 

Employees completed paint and maintenance projects, brightening the experience for future patients. The facility serves as an interim housing and care program for individuals experiencing homelessness who are aging, have a significant medical condition, or need recuperative care.

The volunteer effort was among 15 projects completed in Utah as part of Zions Bank’s 33rd annual Paint-a-Thon. During the first week of June, more than 1,100 volunteers tackled projects from Brigham City to Bicknell. 

From painting classrooms at the Boys and Girls Club of Northern Utah to exam rooms at the Wayne Community Health Center, this year’s Paint-a-Thon projects will benefit more than 13,000 Utahns.

“Paint-a-Thon is a chance to give back to the nonprofits and individuals who give so much to our communities,” said Zions Bank project leader Ryan Oneida. “It’s one of many ways Zions Bank is focused on investing in the communities we serve.”  λ
