Tampa to Raise Flag for 35th Anniversary of Paint Your Heart Out

The City of Tampa will commemorate the 35th anniversary of the Paint Your Heart Out initiative with a flag-raising ceremony on March 18, 2025, at Old City Hall. This event will take place in the brick plaza at the corner of E. Kennedy Blvd and N. Franklin St. The ceremony will honor the countless volunteers whose efforts have revitalized over 3,000 homes for low-income elderly residents since the initiative began in 1988.

Paint Your Heart Out Tampa has become a cherished community program, emphasizing the significance of collective service. This year’s Painting Day is scheduled for April 26, and the city is actively seeking volunteers as well as homeowners interested in having their homes painted at no cost. More information about participation can be found on the official website. Media outlets are encouraged to attend the flag-raising ceremony, with an RSVP requested. This celebration not only highlights community spirit but also the ongoing commitment to improving the lives of Tampa’s senior residents.
