Project Warm Volunteers Win Award
The Manual High School Key Club, organized by Nathaniel Rosenblum, a senior at Manual, has been selected to receive an award for their service with Project Warm. They gave a presentation about their work with Project Warm at the Key Clubs international conference in Atlanta, GA this July.
The Manual students have not
only been one of the key volunteer groups in the Blitz, but they also worked
with us on a "Mini-Blitz" to serve some of the folks we did not reach during
the regular Blitz.
We are very happy for the Manual H. S. Key Club students who are being honored and for the recognition that this brings to Project Warm.
Reaching Out to the Immigrant Community
For several years Project Warm has been conducting Project Warm Energy Management Workshops at the Arcadia Community Center. Since May we have been working with several AmeriCorps volunteers at Arcadia Apartments to provide Project Warm First-Line Weatherization to weatherize doorways and seal leaks around windows.
All of the residents at Arcadia are low-income. Most of them are refugees or
immigrants and many do not speak English. We have been able to get some of
our application and energy education materials translated into Spanish and
the AmeriCorps volunteers have been helping their residents through the
application process.
We will continue to work with the AmeriCorp volunteers and their residents
to weatherize as many homes as possible before the cold weather returns.
