-We had over 80 volunteers join us to help
-We built 235 inserts for 26 families
-Window Dressers estimates that on average, 10 inserts will save 105 gallons of heating fuel — which at around $5.50/gallon, amounts to more than $550 in savings per year. That means we're saving ~2,467 gallons of fuel, or $13,571.
We would like to thank the North Universalist Chapel Society for hosting our week-long build in their social space, and to Mascoma Bank and the Canaday Family Charitable Trust for funding this project. Many thanks to the Woodstock Farmer’s Market for donating food for our volunteers. We are also grateful to our community of volunteers for stepping up to keep neighbors warm this winter, including volunteers from the Woodstock Rotary, North Chapel, Bethany Mennonite Church, Hypertherm, Woodstock Union High School and many others.
