Making a Difference Together
At Paint Baum, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back. Our commitment to making a positive impact extends beyond our painting services to initiatives that support and uplift those around us. Through our involvement in various community programs and the founding of impactful organizations, we strive to create a better, more connected world. Here’s how we’re making a difference.
Nomadic Bear Response Urban Safety Coalition: Protecting Our Wildlife and Community
The Nomadic Bear Response Urban Safety Coalition (NBRUSC), is an initiative close to our hearts. This volunteer organization, founded by Leah Baum, focuses on the safety of both our community and local wildlife. NBRUSC seeks to:
- Monitors Bear Activity: Our team receives alerts of bear sightings and promptly tracks and follows the bears. To report an urban bear sighting, see links.
- Public Alerts: We notify the public, especially joggers, families with children, and pet owners, about nearby bear activity to ensure their safety.
- Guides Bears Back: Using our trucks, we guide the bears back to their natural habitat, minimizing the risk of human-wildlife conflict.
Tech Pals: Bridging the Digital Divide
Founded by Leah Baum in 2019, Tech Pals is a nonprofit organization dedicated to bridging the digital divide. Our mission is to ensure that everyone, regardless of age or background, has access to the technology and skills they need to thrive in today's digital world. Through Tech Pals, we offer:
