Last year, Catalyst volunteers came together to make meaningful improvements to Ms. Olds’ home—installing new siding, fresh paint, and energy‑efficient windows. This month, we were honored to return and take the next step in that journey by providing her with an energy‑efficient ducted heat pump.

Until recently, Mr. Ballou’s home was very cold in the winter and uncomfortably hot in the summer. His only permanent heat source was a single baseboard heater in his bedroom

Ms McCall purchased her first home in September 2024—a charming, single-level house thoughtfully modified to support her life as a quadriplegic. But as winter set in, Ms McCall was surprised by high energy bills that put a strain on her budget.
