Saving Energy

Since 1983

Corporate Volunteering

We offer a rewarding volunteer experience for corporate groups or small groups great for helping our neighbors in the region and teambuilding. Spend half a day weatherizing homes and getting to know seniors in the St. Louis area. We offer half day weatherization blitz opportunities in the fall and winter to help insulate homes and save seniors on energy bills. Additionally, we do have an experience we can bring to your break room based upon availability to help seniors weatherize their own homes.

 

For more information about corporate volunteering opportunities please contact Melanie at melanie@energycare.org.
