BEVERLY, MA — As the season of giving arrives in North Shore, Coastal Windows & 
Exteriors is proudly carrying on its Freedom from Want tradition by donating turkeys,
pies, and Thanksgiving food bags to local residents in need. The 8-year tradition
is inspired by Norman Rockwell’s ‘Freedom from Want’, supporting the company’s ongoing
mission to warm hearts as well as homes with energy efficient remodeling products.

“We deeply appreciate the trust that so many North Shore homeowners have placed 
in us to protect and secure their most important investment, their homes,” says 
Vanderbilt. “In response to that trust, we’ve made it part of our mission to give
back to the communities we serve in whatever way possible. This Thanksgiving, we’re
doing so on behalf of our customers, which makes the gesture even more fulfilling.”

## Serving Up ‘Freedom from Want’ with Thanksgiving Feasts for North Shore Families

Stepping up with scrumptious Thanksgiving sides and goodies, Coastal delivered 25
Thanksgiving food bags to Beverly Bootstraps. Totaling to 325 pounds for all bags
combined, each of the food bags includes staple items that families can use for 
their Thanksgiving Day meal. Henry’s Market 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_,” said Sue Gabriel, Executive
Director Beverly Bootstraps. Their efforts will make so many families happy on Thanksgiving.”
Beverly Bootstraps provides critical resources to families and individuals so they
may achieve self-sufficiency.

Rounding out the feasts for North Shore families, Coastal purchased Thanksgiving
turkeys from Henry’s Market by Coastal Windows & Exteriors and donated to The Open
Door. This news comes alongside The Open Door’s new Food and Nutrition Center on
Emerson Avenue unveiling. 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.”

Each year, the Coastal team recreates the Normal Rockwell-inspired image with the
current Coastal Family, focusing on feeding those in need this Thanksgiving to _Give
Thanks and Give Back_. The turkeys are tagged with the donor’s name on behalf of
Coastal’s customers, while the fixin’ bags come decorated with the Rockwell themed
flyer. The Thanksgiving meal donations came to a total of 950 pounds for this initiative.

Coastal’s Freedom from Want tradition has deep roots in the United States history.
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 being 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 the
ability to afford energy bills to a hot Thanksgiving Day turkey dinner on your table.

“In an annual tradition, Coastal Windows and Exteriors has generously donated turkeys
ahead of Thanksgiving to help set the table for people right here in our community
who need a little extra help,” President and CEO Julie LaFontaine said. “Their kindness
ensures that families can make special holiday memories around their tables at home
to last a lifetime. It’s a big job, but together we are bigger.”

Caring for the community is a major mission for Coastal. Recently, the award-winning
exterior remodeling company provided two local U.S. veterans with free roofs through
their Roofs for Heroes initiative. Roofs for Heroes helps fulfill the empathetic
vision of protecting those who protect our country.

Coastal Windows & Exteriors further supports the community by offering energy efficient
windows, doors, roofing, and siding. Energy rates are skyrocketing in New England,
with heating oil prices averaging 75% higher in comparison to last year. With insulated
and energy efficient products, all North Shore homeowners can enjoy increased indoor
comfort this season and beyond.

The #1 woman-owned exterior remodeling company in New England by Inc., named by 
Inc. 5000 and Qualified Remodeler, recently won the Best of the North Shore (BONS)
Home Awards in the Build category. CWE also proudly ranks as Inc.’s #2 exterior 
remodeling company in Massachusetts as well as the #1 women-led replacement company
in the state.

Other rankings include Qualified Remodeler’s #3 overall in Massachusetts and #6
