Des Plaines-based Maryville getting donated paint job

Des Plaines-based Maryville is getting a free paint job this weekend at its Center for Children, thanks to a donation from a company celebrating 50 years of business.

Hester Painting and Decorating in Skokie is volunteering to paint the interior of the building in Chicago. Last year, Maryville launched a fundraising campaign to renovate the Center for Children, which houses the Crisis Nursery and Children's Healthcare Center.

"This facility provides an amazing service and we wanted to help create a welcoming atmosphere for families in crisis," said Steve Hester, the company's president.

The Crisis Nursery provides emergency child care for children up to age six. The nursery also sponsors parent support programs. The Children's Healthcare Center provides transitional medical care for children with complex medical needs. The center helps children and families make a safe transition from hospital to home.
