“It’s just what a community ought to do.” 

What started as a way to fight depression became an inspiration to bring a community together.  CBS Evening News and On The Road feature story spotlights a widower who just wanted to do something to ease his sadness after his wife passed away.

“I can do something about the town. We’ll paint it,” he explained.

“The whole town,” he added.

 

He started with a fire hydrant, moved down the road to the guardrail and then hit a home stretch.

Is there something your community can do together to inspire and help others?
