BEVERLY — Coastal Windows & Exteriors is proudly carrying on its “Freedom from Want” tradition for the 9th consecutive year by doubling its turkey donations in response to heightened community needs.
This year, the home-remodeling company donated 50 turkeys to North Shore residents at The Open Door Food Pantry and 25 Thanksgiving fixin’ food bags to Beverly Bootstraps. Inspired by Norman Rockwell’s ‘Freedom from Want,’ the company’s annual campaign supports its ongoing mission to give back to the community – especially as local food insecurity continues to rise.
“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 Stephanie Vanderbilt, owner of Coastal Windows & Exteriors. “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 current October and November customers, which makes the gesture even more fulfilling.”
Each of the 25 Thanksgiving food bags include staple items that families can use for their Thanksgiving Day meal. Henry’s Market donated the insulated bags for this initiative. Community-funded and supported, Beverly Bootstraps – a member of the North Shore Chamber — provides critical resources to families and individuals so they may achieve self-sufficiency.
“Coastal Windows has been supporting Beverly Bootstraps for so many years. We are grateful for their contribution to Fixin’s for the Feast,” says Sue Gabriel, Beverly Bootstraps executive director. “Their efforts will make so many families happy on Thanksgiving.”
