Building Hope
Chicago team partners with Hope Ignites for a second major project
Renewal by Andersen of Chicago is once again making a meaningful difference in its community.For the second time in just a few years, the Chicago team partnered with Hope Ignites Chicago to support the organization’s mission of helping academically ambitious students from families with financial need. This time, the team donated and installed 35 new windows at a home in Evanston, Illinois to eight young men pursuing their middle school and high school education on the path to college.
The partnership builds on a project completed in 2024, when Renewal by Andersen of Chicago donated 41 windows to another boys' house right next door. Together, these efforts are helping create more comfortable, functional spaces where students can study, rest and grow.
“We’re stronger and better together,” said Karen Croteau, president of Hope Ignites Chicago, reflecting on the impact of the partnership.
Gregory Larsen, installation project manager for Chicago, definitely agrees. "It's extremely important to me. I drive a Renewal by Andersen pickup truck that's a billboard. To be able to drive that with pride, knowing what we do for the community, it just makes what we do at Renewal by Andersen that much better."
Nice work, Chicago team!
