Interested? Here's How We Get Started

If the HeatSmart Campaign sounds like something your community can use, we're happy to arrange a consultation to discuss your needs and devise a package that works. Here is information that is useful in getting started:
  • Define the size of your need: The most basic way to do this is to determine the number of homes relying on LIHEAP in your community.
  • Determine the budget that might be used: The Campaign is able to provide a full-sized blanket for $12, the same cost as Northwest Woolen sells blankets to the government and the Red Cross. Use this number to determine how large you want the program to be.
  • Decide where the blankets should be shipped: Shipping to a central location is least expensive and most efficient.
  • When will you want to start? Ideally, you should distribute the packages in the fall, as a seasonal reminder to conserve energy.
  • HeatSmart Campaign can be used for an Education Program and/or Energy Program
It is simple to get going with the HeatSmart campaign. Just call (800) 848-9665, or email donna@northwestwoolen.com to connect with Donna Montaquila, our program director. Heating Statistics courtesy of the Energy Information Administration.
