Blitz Volunteer (Nov 2nd & 9th, 2024)

The Blitz is Project Warm’s signature annual event, where hundreds of volunteers come together to help local seniors and individuals with disabilities get prepared for cold winter months through basic home weatherization. Volunteers will arrive at our office between 9-10 AM in a drive-thru style fashion, pick up a free boxed breakfast along with weatherization supplies, and head out across Jefferson County to meet our clients. The work you will be performing is dependent upon the weekend you choose:

Saturday, November 2nd:

​

• Deliver free weatherization kits to clients homes

• Can be completed alone or within a group

• Typically between 9:30-12pm
