NRCA's Community Service and Disaster Relief
Committee oversees the association's affiliation with several charitable organizations. Through these
organizations, NRCA members volunteer their time and resources to help those in need.

Many contractor members supplied labor for at least a portion of the project. And NRCA members contributed more than
$125,000 for the project.
