On GMA this morning, Anna Olivier stopped in to chat about a project that is close to her heart: Windows for Widows.

Windows for Widows is a contest put on by Jim Olivier’s Home Improvement and was created by owner, Anna Olivier, eight years ago. The program is part of a family mission. Since her husband, Jim Olivier, passed away, Anna has grown to appreciate the difficulties faced when a loved one passes away.

She started the contest to give back to other widows or others in need. Each year, a nominee is selected to receive new windows for their home. The windows are energy efficient, which can cut back on the home’s bills as well as improve how the home may look. The winner’s Home Makeover will be completed by December 31st, 2019.

The Windows for Widows program seeks to help and lift our community as they work to strengthen our local community — including schools, locally owned businesses, charities, and also to do what we can to help those in our community that need special help . This program is one way they can give back and sow “good” into our community, and help to care for those in need.

Do you know of a widow in the Lafayette area in need of new windows? Nominate her today by filling out a form on the Jim Olivier Home Improvement website, or by sending an email with all necessary contact information to Anna@JimOlivier.com

All entries must be received by June 30th, and a winner will be determined by Jim Olivier’s Home Improvement from all eligible entries, to be held on or around July 9th, at Jim Olivier’s Home Improvement Company office. The winner will be notified by phone or email on or about 10 days after the end date.
