Roof For A Veteran graphic.

Quick recap: We’re working with Owens Corning to provide a free roof for a local veteran in need. But we need your help in finding someone who could benefit from this program. 


We are collecting nominations until September 30, with the hope of installing a new roof for a local veteran on Veterans’ Day, November 11. 


If you or someone you know is a veteran who could use a new roof, you have 5 DAYS LEFT to do so. Click the button below to learn more about our Roof for a Vet program and submit a nomination today. 


Thanks in advance for your help!
