May Donation Jonnycake Center

Two Brothers Painting has always believed that a thriving business should strengthen the community that supports it. Based in Wakefield, Rhode Island, our family-owned painting company has spent over two decades providing exceptional residential and commercial painting services throughout Rhode Island. Our commitment extends far beyond fresh coats of paint—it reaches into the heart of community support.

Partnership Rooted in Purpose

This May, Two Brothers Painting partnered with the Jonnycake Center for Hope as our charity of choice, demonstrating our dedication to addressing local needs. The Jonnycake Center, located in Peace Dale, serves as a vital resource for community members facing food insecurity and poverty. Their mission centers on providing basic needs, resources, and hope to neighbors throughout the area.

“We’re more than just a painting company,” explains the Two Brothers team. “We’re deeply committed to giving back to the community that has supported us throughout the years.”

How the Donation Was Raised

Our donation mechanism reflects our innovative approach to community support. For every painting estimate we completed in a month, we donate $20 to a local charity. This program seamlessly integrates charitable giving into our regular business operations, ensuring consistent support for community organizations.

Through this program during the month of May, we, along with our customers who requested estimates, collectively raised $1,640 for the Jonnycake Center. This substantial contribution represents the cumulative impact of 82 painting estimates—each one contributing to the greater good while connecting potential customers with our services.

Jonnycake Center For Hope’s Vital Mission

The Jonnycake Center for Hope operates with a clear vision: creating a community without hunger and poverty where everyone can reach their full potential and improve their quality of life. Their comprehensive approach includes operating the Jonnycake Market, a member-choice food pantry that allows clients to shop in a grocery store-style setting rather than simply receiving pre-packaged food bags.

The center serves over 2,200 individuals annually through various programs, including routine shopping opportunities twice monthly, special support during school vacation weeks, fresh produce distribution through their Healthy Harvest program, and grocery deliveries to homebound community members. With visits increasing by nearly 80 percent as residents face rising utility costs and economic pressures, the center’s work has become increasingly critical.

Making a Real Difference

The $1,640 donation from Two Brothers Painting directly supports these essential programs. Every dollar helps stock the Jonnycake Market with fresh produce, meat, poultry, eggs, milk, non-perishable items, and other necessities that community members need to feed their families with dignity.

Kate Brewster, CEO of the Jonnycake Center, notes that the increased demand for services reflects the challenging economic reality many Rhode Island families face. The support from local businesses like Two Brothers Painting helps bridge the gap between rising costs and basic needs.

Supporting Local Organizations

Community members can support community organizations in multiple ways. Those needing painting services can request a free estimate from Two Brothers Painting, knowing that each estimate generates a $20 donation to charity. We offer comprehensive interior and exterior painting services, cabinet painting, and commercial projects, all backed by our two-year warranty and satisfaction guarantee.

For those wanting to support the Jonnycake Center directly, donations can be made through their website, and non-perishable food items can be dropped off any time in the blue bins on their front porch at 22 Kersey Road in Peace Dale.

Building Stronger Communities Together

The partnership between Two Brothers Painting and the Jonnycake Center exemplifies how local businesses can create meaningful change through consistent, structured giving. By integrating charitable donations into our regular business processes, we create a sustainable model that benefits the community while building relationships with potential customers.

This collaboration demonstrates that community support doesn’t require grand gestures—it thrives on consistent, purposeful actions. When businesses commit to giving back and community members support those businesses, everyone benefits. The result is a stronger, more resilient Rhode Island community where local businesses and nonprofits work together to address pressing needs.

Through our ongoing commitment to charitable giving and our partnership with organizations like the Jonnycake Center, Two Brothers Painting proves that successful businesses can be powerful forces for positive change in their communities.
