Giving back to the community is very important to Sheldon Stewart.
Listed below are some of the ways Stewart Painting gives back to the Cape Cod community.
Home Services for Veterans
In 2022, we started the Stewart Paints it Forward program. Our mission is to find a deserving veteran homeowner who could benefit from our painting services, supplied at no cost.
At Stewart Painting, we believe in giving back to those who have given so much. That’s why we’ve also made a heartfelt commitment to support our nation’s heroes through our 10-Year Veterans Pledge.
Home Owner Advice
Stewart Painting has been a sponsor of the Handyman Hotline radio show for more than 20 years, providing free expert advice to local home owners who call in to discuss any problems they’re having with their home.
The Handyman Hotline is an interactive radio show based on Cape Cod, MA, heard terrestrially on 95.1 WXTK-FM on Saturdays from 1-3pm.

Dontated Time
While a member of the steering committee for the Pops by the Sea, Sheldon and his employees donated time towards the setting up of the event for many years.
Over the years, Stewart Painting has donated to more than 50 charities across the Cape & Islands. As you can imagine, the amount of requests each year far exceeds what their budget would allow them to do.
Financial Contributions
Cape and Islands United Way
Late in 2014, Sheldon noticed that many of the requests that Stewart Painting received were also organization that the local United Way also supported. In 2015, Stewart Painting began making a donation of $10 from each power wash for the year to the Cape & Islands United Way in an attempt to make their donations go even further.
The Cape & Islands United Way is a local and independent organization striving to improve lives and strengthen communities on Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Nantucket. The United Way family — of donors, volunteers, and citizens who care – raise money, leverage resources, and donate time and talents to not only provide a safety net for those in need, but to create a collective community vision and drive sustainable change. Out of every dollar raised by the Cape and Islands United Way, 99 cents stays on Cape Cod and the islands, while less than 1% goes to the United Way world organization to cover the cost of its membership fee.
They fund projects that align with their Annual Community Impact Agenda and that specifically advance their community goals in HEALTH, EDUCATION, FINANCIAL STABILITY, and HOUSING. For a list of the most recent Cape & Islands United Way Grants awarded please visit www.capeandislandsuw.org.
