Sundays 8 ǀ 7c on ABC

TIDEWATER, Va. – Window World, local and national heavyweight in the vinyl window replacement industry and Home of the $189 Installed Window, will be matching food donations at their new showroom drop-off location "pound for pound plus 189 pounds" in conjunction with the Extreme Food Drive as part of their participation in ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.

The Extreme Food Drive will begin January 20 at a pep rally to be held 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. Achieving the goal would make it not only 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 and entry and garage doors presented itself to help a deserving family here in Hampton Roads as part of the Extreme Makeover Home Edition TV program, we were in," says Josh Reed, the 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 4th as a lead up to when the Extreme Makeover: Home Edition home is projected to be completed on February 5th.
