OIiver Gospel receives new roof from GAF and Aqua Seal Manufacturing and Roofing

Thanks to Aqua Seal and GAF, a shelter that hundreds of men call home each year will be preserved for generations to come.

Oliver Gospel, a local nonprofit that has provided transitional housing, rehabilitation and recovery services to the homeless population in South Carolina since 1888, will receive a brand new roof from Aqua Seal Manufacturing & Roofing and GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer.

As the sixth oldest rescue Mission in the country, Oliver Gospel operates a Men’s Center in downtown Columbia that serves meals, provides emergency shelter and offers transitional and recovery programs for men experiencing homelessness and poverty. In 2023, the Center served 97,000 meals and provided over 38,000 nights of shelter.

"It's a blessing to witness what can be achieved when our community unites to help our neighbors in need. Thanks to Aqua Seal and GAF, our shelter that hundreds of men call home each year will be preserved for generations to come." said Dr. Marlo Brayboy, Interim Executive Director of Oliver Gospel Mission.

“As long-time supporters of Oliver Gospel, we are excited to partner with GAF to help them with a brand new roof for their Men’s Center that has served our local community for more than 135 years.” said Mills Snell, COO of Aqua Seal Manufacturing & Roofing.

Aqua Seal Manufacturing & Roofing is donating the installation labor and GAF is donating the roofing materials. This collaboration is part of GAF’s social impact initiative, GAF Community Matters, which is focused on making a positive difference as neighbors and partners in the community by leveraging roofing expertise, resources and products to help build resilient communities.
