Take The Chill Out
PGE Volunteers Team Up With Community Energy Project
Armed with caulk guns and rollsofheavyduty\myl.more
than 120 volunteers from Portland General Electnc (PGE)
will fen out over North and Southeast Portland this Saturday.
Sept 25, to weatherize homes for seniors and disabled
citizens. The goal o f the undertaking, spear­
headed by Community Energy Project Inc., is to
weathenze 20 homes over the weekend and a
total o f 60 homes by the end o f the year.
This event helps celebrate the 20,h anni­
versary o f Com m unity Energy Project, a
nonprofit organization that helps low -in­
com e families in Portland control their util­
ity bills through se lf help, education and
volunteer projects.
Since single-pane windows can account
for one-third o f the heat loss from a house,
many o f the volunteers will be adding window
insulation; simple frames with heavy duty
clear vinyl that fit over existing windows.
They will also caulk around windows, add
foundation covers and take other simple steps
to help keep the heat in and the winter chill out.
“This is a project that really touches the
heart,” explains Vickie Rocker. PGE cus­
tomer resource representative, who is coordi­
nating P G E 's volunteer effort. “ It gives PGE
employees a very warm feeling - helping those
who unable to do the work themselves.”
PGE has been a long-time supporter ofCom-
mumty Energy Project, havmgdonated financial
and technical assistance over the past two de­
cades. Don Nuttbrock a PGE residential energy
spccialisLandCommuruty Energy Project board
member for more than ten years, has guided
previous, smaller-scale weatherization efforts
“The people we help arc so appreciative.
They can't believe that someone would show
up on their day o ff to help them out. says Nuttbrock.
Additional volunteers for this project are welcome. Train­
ing will be provided. Citizens interested in volunteering can
contact Community Energy Project at (503) 284-6827.
