Wire Craft Electric of Shoreline participated in the Master Builders Care Foundation’s 7th Annual Painting a Better Tomorrow event to paint the interiors of apartments to be used for homeless teens in Bothell and Everett.

Kevin Kartak and Josh Miller of Wire Craft brought teams for the one-day event, which included more than 150 volunteers from 11 MBA member companies.

Since the inception of the MBA Painting a Better Tomorrow program in 2003, more than 1,200 home building industry volunteers have painted, done minor repairs and made improvements at 42 agencies in King and Snohomish counties. In 2009 volunteers painted the Bellevue Boys and Girls Clubs. A volunteer team from the club helped paint on Saturday.

The Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties is the oldest and largest local homebuilders association in the United States. It is affiliated with the National Association of Home Builders.
