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.

rehabilitates the houses of low-income homeowners, particularly the elderly and
disabled, and families with children.

locally with the search for missing children through magnetic posters that can be
placed on service vehicles.
Established through The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress, the
Disaster Relief
Fund provides new roofs in regions affected by natural disasters.

Created in 2010, the
Pay It Forward program matches those in need with those
in the roofing community who can help.
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.
In addition to the above, NRCA members are actively involved in their own philanthropic
work.
