Barron KARES
Kindness, Appreciation, Response, Empathy, and Service
Barron KARES is our commitment to sharing kindness and appreciation within our community through a hands-on response rooted in empathy and service. Each month, we shine a spotlight on a different charity or non-profit organization that holds high esteem among Team Barron and within the communities we serve. Barron KARES provides a charitable donation of $110 on select purchases, such as tankless water heaters, heat pumps, solar installations, generators, and more.
Why $110? It carries a profound significance rooted in the wisdom of our owner John Barron’s mentor, who advised, "Go above and beyond your call of duty—push past 100, give 110% every time." This philosophy of exceeding expectations has become a guiding principle for us. John and Brad Barron, his son and company CEO, personify this commitment in every aspect of their work and inspire the greater Barron team to do the same.
With Barron KARES, we see our commitment as more than a monetary donation. It represents a dedication to making a tangible, positive impact on the causes and individuals we support. By featuring a different charity or non-profit each month, we hope to help illuminate organizations that align with our values and resonate with our team and communities.
Being a family-run business since 1972 has instilled in us a deep appreciation for the community. Our Mission: Improving Lives™ is not just a tagline; it encapsulates our enduring commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of those we serve. Through Barron KARES, we extend this commitment, ensuring that Kindness, Appreciation, Response, Empathy, and Service are not just words but principles we actively live by.


Barron KARES | October Feature: Cascade Connections
Cascade Connections is a local nonprofit dedicated to supporting people with disabilities and their communities. The organization began in 1980 when a small group of Lynden families came together to create Cascade Christian Home, a residential home serving 12 adults with developmental disabilities. Since then, the organization has grown into the wide range of services it offers today.
Cascade Connections continues to support individuals through programs including home care, supported living, training, vocational services, and group training homes, with a focus on helping people live meaningful, connected, and independent lives.
This month, Cascade Connections is hosting its 5th Annual Hamster Crawl on Saturday, October 10th. The event is a fun downtown walking tour, and Barron is proud to be the Title Sponsor! We’d love to see our community come out and support this great organization.
Throughout October, Barron KARES will donate $110 from every qualifying system sold to Cascade Connections to support their mission. Eligible purchases include heat pumps, AC systems, furnaces, solar, generators, tankless water heaters, and more.
Thank you, Cascade Connections, for providing essential services and support throughout our community. With the support of our Barron customers, we're proud to support this impactful organization. Every purchase helps make a difference.This September, Barron KARES is proud to support Christian Hope Association.
