NATIONAL ROOFING CONTRACTORS ASSOCIATION ASSISTS IN NEW PARTNERSHIP PROGRAMS Rosemont, Ill.—The National Roofing Contractors Association (NRCA) will be working with Washington, D.C.-based Rebuilding Together® and its 235 local and state affiliates to provide roof system repairs for service members, veterans and military families through two new partnership programs, Heroes at Home and Serving Those Who Serve. Rebuilding Together is NRCA's national charity partner. Heroes at Home is a proprietary program of Sears Holdings Management Corp., Hoffman Estates, Ill., created in partnership with Rebuilding Together in response to the need to assist military families facing hardship. Serving Those Who Serve, a partnership between Rebuilding Together and Calabasas, Calif.-based Countrywide Financial, was developed to meet the needs of injured soldiers and veterans returning from Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Both programs focus on making necessary repairs, improvements or modifications to veterans' and soldiers' homes. The home modifications and repairs vary depending on the specific project and can range from replacing doorknobs with latch handles; to remodeling a bathroom to include a zero entry shower with accessible fixtures; to building wheelchair ramps to make a home accessible. Many home modifications will require roofing materials and labor, and Rebuilding Together is seeking labor and material donations for the funds. To donate roofing materials or labor or for more information, contact Kaylee Alberico, NRCA's communications assistant, at (847) 493-7592 or kalberico@nrca.net. ###
