Window World of Tidewater to Match Food Donations for the Extreme Food Drive

Online, January 20, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Window World, local and national heavyweight in the vinyl window replacement industry and Home of the $189 Installed Window, will be matching canned food donations made at their new showroom drop-off location "pound for pound plus 189 pounds" in conjunction with the Extreme Food Drive and their participation in ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

The Extreme Food Drive kicks-off January 20, 2011 at a pep rally being hosted at the Virginia Beach Convention Center from 7-9pm where Window World will make their first donation of 189 pounds of food to contribute toward the 306,000 pound goal of the drive. Achievement of their goal will not only make for the largest food drive in the history of Hampton Roads, but also the largest ever conducted in conjunction with an Extreme Makeover build.

"When the opportunity to donate a house of windows, entry, and garage doors to a deserving family here in Hampton Roads presented itself as part of the Extreme Makeover Home Edition program, we were in without hesitation," says Josh Reed, President of Window World. "Whether it is St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the Veterans Airlift Command, it is part of our perpetual mission to give back and lend a helping hand where we can. The Extreme Food Drive was an excellent idea to expand that helping hand out to more than just one deserving family. We encourage everyone to consider doubling their donation simply by bringing their non-perishable food items to our showroom and we will match their donation pound for pound."

The Window World drop-off site is their new showroom location at 3517 Virginia Beach Boulevard off the I-264 exit, just east of Rosemont Road in Virginia Beach. Showroom and drop-off hours are Monday through Thursday 8am to 5pm, Friday 8am to 430pm and Saturday 10am to 1pm. Donations will be accepted January 21st through February 4, 2011. The Hampton Roads home that will be featured on ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition is projected to be complete on February 5, 2011.
