Cowtown Brush Up

Revitalizing Neighborhoods, One House at a Time

Cowtown Brush Up is a one-day community paint event where hundreds of volunteers come together to help transform homes for Fort Worth families in need—many of whom are elderly or living on fixed incomes. A fresh coat of paint can make a world of difference, and with your help, we’re brightening neighborhoods across Fort Worth!

How It Works

Twice a year, Trinity Habitat for Humanity teams up with the City of Fort Worth and local volunteers to do minor exterior home repairs and paint homes for neighbors in need.

Whether you're representing your church, company, school, or family, we welcome teams of all sizes.

  • Full teams (20 people) can paint a whole house.

  • Smaller teams will be matched with others.

  •  Larger groups, depending on level of Sponsorship, may have the opportunity to paint multiple houses as available, but not guaranteed.

‍Volunteers must be 12 years or older

Due to overwhelming interest, team registration for our Spring CTBU event is now full. We are currently accepting teams for the waitlist only.

Non-Sponsor team spots are first‑come, first‑served, and due to the high volume of sponsored teams this year, only a few openings remain. We appreciate your enthusiasm and your willingness to participate in CTBU!
