Getting started.
Who this helps
People within a reasonable drive of a community build may request inserts or rewraps. Low-income customers who qualify for public assistance, such as LIHEAP, SNAP, or food pantry help, may receive up to 10 pine inserts per year at no charge.
How to get started
After the measuring visit, the volunteer team provides an estimate. Ordered inserts and rewraps are made through the local community build.
Submit a request.
Complete the Request Inserts or Rewraps form on the WindowDressers website, or call (207) 596-3073 for help.
Attend the measuring visit.
Trained volunteers visit your home to measure each window and provide an estimate.
Join the Calais build.
Take one four-hour shift for every one to five inserts or rewraps.
