Charity affiliations

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.

Community Service Day

On Feb. 4, the 2013 International Roofing Expo® (IRE) held Community Service Day in San Antonio. The IRE partnered with NRCA's Disaster Relief Committee and Rebuilding Together® San Antonio to host the home renovation and revitalization project.

Established through The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress, the Disaster Relief Fund provides new roofs in regions affected by natural disasters.

In the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, NRCA members generously donated more than $300,000 to assist with rebuilding the Gulf region. This humanitarian video provides an overview of the projects and people NRCA members helped.

NRCA Pentagon Project was an effort to restore the Pentagon's roof system that involved rebuilding part of the structure that was damaged by the airplane crash and repairing a significant portion of the roof system that was damaged by fire. NRCA received generous donations of materials at no cost from several roofing materials manufacturers. Many contractor members supplied labor for at least a portion of the project. And NRCA members contributed more than $125,000 for the project.

Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational, evangelical organization that responds during times of war and famine and to all types of natural disasters—tornados, fires, hurricanes, floods, etc. Its actions include first-response disaster relief efforts, area assessment and rebuilding.
