The NEK Chamber was visited today by two amazing community members who are part of WindowDressers, a non-profit who is trying to help people have warmer homes, a smaller carbon footprint, and build community.

Window Dressers are low-cost interior storm inserts designed to keep your home or business warmer while lowering fuel costs. Whether you live in a new construction or an older home, these inserts are an affordable and effective way to save energy and stay cozy during Vermont’s coldest months.

💡 What You Need to Know:

Window Dressers are created by volunteers in a not-for-profit effort to help as many people as possible.
They are available for both homes and businesses.
Now is the time to sign up for inserts to be ready for next winter!

📍 They serve towns across the Kingdom, and there are several Window Dressers Builds happening locally to connect people with this resource.

Help us spread the word! Share this post or let your friends and neighbors know about this opportunity to save energy and stay warm. Together, we can make a difference in our community.
