In a heartwarming demonstration of community support, Fireside Home Solutions has launched a special promotion to advance Compass Housing Alliance’s mission to combat homelessness in the Puget Sound region. Through March 31, 2025, Fireside will donate $100 for every fireplace insert sold to support Compass’s vital work in providing affordable housing, enhanced shelter, and emergency services to our region’s most vulnerable neighbors.
“For more than a century, Compass Housing Alliance has lived out its mission on behalf of our community by providing housing and support for people in need while also meeting each person we serve where they’re at to help strengthen their future,” shares Compass President Christopher Ross. “Our organization relies on caring supporters like Fireside Home Solutions, a family-owned business that has demonstrated its commitment to improving the lives of people throughout the Puget Sound over two generations.”
“As we celebrate our 40th year in business, partnering with Compass Housing Alliance represents everything Fireside and our founders, Bill and Carolyn Nirk, stand for,” said Fireside’s President and CEO, John Waterstraat. “Our mission has always been about bringing warmth and comfort into people’s homes, and through this partnership, we can extend that warmth to our neighbors who need it most. Supporting Compass’s work to provide safe, stable housing aligns perfectly with our commitment to making the Puget Sound region a better place for everyone to call home.”
This partnership exemplifies the power of local businesses making a meaningful impact in their community. Each fireplace insert sold will help pave the way for individuals, families, seniors, and veterans to break free from the cycle of homelessness, providing them with the support and resources they need to build stable lives.
As a long-standing member of our community, Fireside Home Solutions continues its tradition of giving back while serving Puget Sound residents with fireplaces, outdoor appliances, and garage doors.
