Central Vermont WindowDressers Community Builds
Warming Homes- Helping the Environment- Building Community
Come help community members and local energy coordinators build low-cost window inserts so neighbors can be cozier this winter and reduce energy use. Recipients of insulated window inserts pay a modest fee and also volunteer to further reduce costs. However, many elderly participants are unable to volunteer.
If you have a few hours to spare, please sign up for a slot at www.windowdressers.org under Community Builds/Vermont/. Shifts are available mornings, afternoons, and evenings during our WindowDressers Community Build. It's a very fun, hands-on volunteer-driven project!
What happens at a build? The wooden frames have already been cut, and volunteers are needed to finish them off with tape, poly, foam and glue. You'll be trained by a volunteer shift supervisor at the beginning of your scheduled shift. All you have to do is show up and enjoy the camaraderie while you carry out simple tasks and enjoy delicious snacks. No experience necessary.
Interested? Sign up at the link above and choose a shift that fits your schedule. If you would rather talk to someone directly, feel free to email our Volunteer Coordinator, Cooper Reid, at a.cooper.reid@gmail.com.
