BEVERLY, MA — Coastal Windows & Exteriors, one of the top exterior replacement contractors in the nation and New England, is carrying on their Freedom From Want tradition by donating one free turkey per sale to The Open Door in Gloucester, MA. The donation is inspired by Norman Rockwell’s ‘Freedom from Want.’ Therefore, it supports the company’s ongoing mission to give back to the community.
The mission of The Open Door is to alleviate the impact of hunger in our community. The Open Door uses practical strategies to connect people to good food. Moreover, it advocates for those in need. Finally, it engages others in building food security.
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 to a hot Thanksgiving Day turkey on your table.
To fulfill their mission of community support, the donation event works like this: every homeowner who purchases energy-efficient replacement windows, roofing, entry doors, and vinyl siding will have a turkey donated to The Open Door. The turkey will be tagged with the customer’s name.
President and CEO, Julie LaFontaine of The Open Door says,
“Coastal Windows & Exteriors’ heart-warming, ‘Freedom from Want’ tradition helps The Open Door feed people at Thanksgiving by donating turkeys each year. The pandemic’s impact on the economy has left many households scrambling to make ends meet. Generous community partners like Coastal Windows & Exteriors help set the holiday table and make a difference for families in our community.”
“Henry’s Market is excited to partner with our good friends at Coastal Windows & Exteriors,” says Mike Halle, Operations Manager. “The pandemic has increased food insecurity across the North Shore. Stephanie and her team always find creative ways to give back. We’re proud to support this important cause and stand beside Coastal in making a positive difference in our community.”
“We deeply appreciate homeowners trusting us to protect their most valuable investment—their homes—with our energy-efficient products,” says Vanderbilt. “In response, giving back is part of our mission to support the communities we serve in meaningful ways. This Thanksgiving, we’re donating 31 turkeys—629 pounds—to The Open Door on behalf of our November customers, ensuring families enjoy a hunger-free holiday.”
In addition to providing Thanksgiving meals, Coastal offers products that keep homes warm, safe, and efficient all winter long.
The Farmers’ Almanac predicts extreme cold and heavy snowstorms. With National Grid increasing energy rates by 53% on November 1, energy-saving home upgrades are more important than ever.
Make the coldest season the coziest by investing in energy-efficient replacement products. Consequently, homeowners can enjoy a warm home all winter. After all, no one should go without warmth or a hot meal this Thanksgiving.
