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](https://mycoastalwindows.com/windows/), [roofing](https://mycoastalwindows.com/roofing/), [entry doors](https://mycoastalwindows.com/entry-doors/), and [vinyl siding](https://mycoastalwindows.com/siding/) will have a turkey donated to The Open Door**. The turkey will be tagged with the customer’s name.** ![Open Door Turkey Donation](https://mycoastalwindows.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/ 01/open-door-turkey-donation.webp "Open Door Turkey Donation") ###### 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.
