The Thompson Creek Window Company of Lanham, Maryland, is actively searching for community heroes in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area to receive up to 10 new energy-efficient windows with professional installation โ€” completely free โ€” through its new “House Proud Heroes” program.

Celebrating its 45th anniversary, Thompson Creek wants to recognize and honor homeowners whose service often goes unnoticed: the teacher who stays late every day, the veteran organizing neighborhood cleanups, the nurse volunteering at free clinics, or the firefighter coaching Little League on weekends.

“We’re looking for people who give their all for others and want to make their home more comfortable and energy efficient,” said Chris Sever, president of Thompson Creek Home. “Often our greatest heroes are the most humble and might need encouragement to apply. That’s where the community can help by sharing this opportunity.”

Thompson Creek is seeking community heroes, including first responders, law enforcement, military veterans, educators, healthcare workers, public service employees, nonprofit leaders, and volunteers who own homes in eligible Washington, D.C. metropolitan ZIP codes, need window replacements and are willing to share their inspiring stories.

Applications open June 23 and will be accepted through July 13 or until the application capacity is reached. The company will select up to five recipients with installations beginning this summer. Each recipient receives energy-efficient vinyl windows, professional installation and Thompson Creek’s No-Hassle Warranty, offering protection for up to 50 years.

Community members are encouraged to think of deserving individuals and share this opportunity with them.

โ€œReaching 45 years is a milestone made possible by the support of our communityโ€”customers, partners and neighbors whoโ€™ve shaped our journey,โ€ Sever said. โ€œHouse Proud Heroes is a natural extension of our core values and reflects the very DNA of our company. Itโ€™s a meaningful way to show our appreciation and further strengthen the trust weโ€™ve built across the D.C. metro market.โ€
