Coastal Windows & Exteriors Joins Beverly Bootstraps Donations Winter Wishes Holiday Gift Program, Bringing Joy to Local Family
#1 Woman-Owned Exterior Remodeling Company in New England Helps North Shore Children & Neighbors in Need
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Beverly, MA – December 18, 2025 – When communities come together during the holidays, magic happens. For families throughout Beverly struggling to make ends meet, the Beverly Bootstraps Winter Wishes Holiday Gift Program offers hope and celebration. Coastal Windows & Exteriors, local exterior remodeling contractors, is proud to support Beverly Bootstraps donations over the years, ensuring local children experience the wonder of the season.
This holiday season, Coastal has chosen to support a resilient family facing multiple home life challenges with compassion and care. A devoted mother of two boys, ages 8 and 13, works while caring for her elderly, ailing father. Her dual responsibilities of childcare and eldercare limit her ability to maintain consistent full-time employment. Like many families in the North Shore area, this situation creates ongoing financial pressure and emotional stress. Despite these hardships, she remains determined to care for her loved ones and is thankful for seasonal community support. Coastal will provide Beverly Bootstraps donations—clothing, entertainment, and toys—to create joyful holiday memories for the family this December.
“The magic of the holidays isn’t just about what’s under the tree; it’s about the warmth of knowing your community cares,” said Stephanie Vanderbilt, Owner at Coastal Windows & Exteriors. “For us at Coastal Windows & Exteriors, supporting the Winter Wishes Program is something deeply personal and meaningful. It directly reflects our company’s core values and long-standing mission of community support. When you choose us to improve your home, you also help make a difference in your neighbors’ lives.”
The Winter Wishes program connects generous community members with families needing assistance to create special holidays for their children. Last year’s tremendous community response enabled Beverly Bootstraps to bring holiday happiness to 822 local children, with demand remaining strong heading into 2025. Coastal feels privileged to contribute to these meaningful efforts for yet another year.
“This holiday season, Coastal Windows demonstrated the true spirit of giving by sponsoring a family and extending their generosity beyond the children to include the parents, making a lasting difference for the whole household,” said Lisa Watkins, Development and External Affairs Supervisor at Beverly Bootstraps. “We are thrilled to have such amazing partners to support our community and make the holidays a magical time.”
Coastal Windows & Exteriors partners with local organizations each year for a big community impact, extending well beyond December celebrations. Marking a significant milestone, the company recently completed its tenth consecutive year partnering with The Open Door Pantry and Beverly Bootstraps to provide Thanksgiving meals—a modern embodiment of Norman Rockwell’s iconic Freedom from Want painting.
This past November, Coastal delivered 50 turkeys totaling 839 pounds to The Open Door’s Gloucester location. Each turkey featured a commemorative tag recognizing recent Coastal customers whose business made the donations achievable. The timing proves crucial, as The Open Door reports a troubling 26% increase in families requesting food assistance compared to 2024. These contributions help ensure North Shore households facing economic hardship can prepare traditional Thanksgiving feasts in their own homes.
This winter, Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a Chill, Snow, Repeat weather pattern. Colder temperatures will result in high gas and electric bills. Electricity rates have increased by 31% since 2021. Over the past year, National Grid rates have gone up by 13% while natural gas rates jumped by 27%. Energy efficient exterior upgrades can make homes warmer while lowering energy bills. By upgrading from single to triple pane windows, North Shore homeowners can save over $500 per year on energy bills.
Coastal Windows & Exteriors continues caring for the community through energy efficient exterior remodeling products. Roofing, windows, siding, and doors can fundamentally improve daily living and deliver benefits far beyond aesthetic enhancement. The local home exterior contractor specializes in high-performance products engineered for New England’s weather, providing North Shore homeowners with increased comfort alongside reduced utility expenses. Products include asphalt roofs, vinyl replacement windows, vinyl siding and James Hardie siding, and steel or fiberglass entry doors. Free estimates and inspections are available through the holidays and into 2026.
