Featured in North Shore Chamber of Commerce Community News: Coastal Windows & Exteriors donates Thanksgiving turkeys, fixings to North Shore residents in need through Beverly Bootstraps and Open Door food pantry
Coastal Windows & Exteriors is proudly carrying on its Freedom from Want tradition this Thanksgiving by donating 25 turkeys and 25 food bags to local North Shore residents in need. This campaign is inspired by Norman Rockwell’s “Freedom from Want” painting and supports the company’s ongoing mission to give back to the community. The 25 Thanksgiving food bags were donated to Beverly Bootstraps, which provides critical resources to families and individuals so they may achieve self-sufficiency. Each bag included staple items that families can use for their Thanksgiving Day meal. Henry’s Market of Beverly generously donated the insulated bags for this initiative.
Coastal Windows has been supporting Beverly Bootstraps for so many years. We are grateful for their contribution of Fixin’s for the Feast,” says executive director Sue Gabriel. “Their efforts will make so many families happy on Thanksgiving.”
The turkeys, totaling 800 pounds, were purchased from Henry’s Market and donated to The Open Door food pantry of Gloucester, which works to alleviate the impact of hunger in the community, using practical strategies to connect people to good food, to advocate on behalf of those in need, and to engage others in the work of building food security.

The Thanksgiving turkeys are purchased from Henry’s Market by Coastal Windows & Exteriors and donated to The Open Door. The mission of The Open Door is to alleviate the impact of hunger in our community, using practical strategies to connect people to good food, to advocate on behalf of those in need, and to engage others in the work of building food security.
“Henry’s Market is excited to once again have the opportunity to partner up this holiday season with our good friends at Coastal Windows & Exteriors,” says Mike Halle, Operations Manager at Henry’s Market. The challenges brought forth by the increased cost of living have caused a dramatic increase in food insecurity throughout the North Shore. Stephanie and her team make it a priority to creatively find ways to assist people in need, and we’re proudly here to help lend support in that noble cause.”
Inspired by the famous Norman Rockwell’s Freedom From Want we recreated this image with our Coastal Family with the focus on feeding those in need this Thanksgiving… Give Thanks – Give Back. The turkeys are tagged with the donor’s name on behalf of Coastal’s November customers and the fixin’ bags are adorned with the Rockwell themed flyer. Thanksgiving meal donations came to a total of 800 pounds for this initiative.
The Four Freedoms were initially articulated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Worship, Freedom from Want and Freedom from Fear. Freedom from Want means to be in a situation where no one should have to worry about basic needs and comfort in life, ranging from a roof over your head and ability to afford energy bills to a hot Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner on your table.
“The turkeys generously donated by Coastal Windows & Exteriors will be the star of the Thanksgiving table for many local families this year,” The Open Door President and CEO Julie LaFontaine said. “Their annual tradition of donating turkeys demonstrates the power of a community coming together to make sure there is ‘freedom from want’ at the holidays.”
