Because everyone deserves a little warmth and hope.
At Shanks Heating and Cooling, we believe our work is about more than comfort — it’s about caring for the people who make our community home. Every year, our Climate of Caring Program gives local families the chance to feel that love and support in a real, tangible way.
How It Works
Once a year, we invite the community to come together and nominate someone they know who’s struggling — whether it’s financially, physically, emotionally, or otherwise. We all know someone quietly carrying a heavy load. Climate of Caring is our way of saying, “You’re not alone.”
After reviewing nominations, our team selects a deserving recipient to receive a brand-new heating and cooling system — completely free of charge.
Installation, equipment, labor — all covered. It’s our way of giving a hand up, not a handout, to someone who could use a little help and a lot of hope.
Why We Do It
Because no family should have to go without comfort in their own home.
Because kindness has a ripple effect.
Because when our community lifts together, everyone rises.
Stay Connected
Follow us on Facebook to be the first to know when nominations open each year. That’s where we share updates, stories from past recipients, and ways you can help spread warmth throughout our community.
Together, we’re creating a Climate of Caring — one home, one heart, and one act of kindness at a time.
