Partnership Between Habitat for Humanity and SRS Distribution

SRS will donate one roof per region, primarily for Veteran homes in need.

We are excited to announce a wonderful partnership between Habitat for Humanity and SRS Distribution. Beginning this year and through 2021, SRS will donate one roof per region, primarily for Veteran homes needing a new roof or repairs. Roof and other product donations will be coordinated between our local branches and the Habitat affiliate in each recipient’s community. SRS TopShield, working with our partner Lomanco, is contributing ventilation products for our Habitat veteran roofs. Additionally, SRS Raise the Roof Foundation has made a significant financial donation through this new partnership.

Our first roof under the new program was recently completed in Colorado Springs for Larry, an Army veteran who served from 1968 to 1972 during the Vietnam War era, and his wife. SRS’s local branch American Roofing Supply donated the roofing materials to help make their home safe and secure. Greg Kovach, director of operations for Habitat’s Pikes Peak affiliate said, “The process to obtain the materials went really well. The gents we worked with at American Roofing Supply were super helpful, the materials were of high quality, the communication was excellent, the delivery occurred on the day requested and they placed the shingles on the roof for us which is really helpful for us old guys. Thanks for coordinating this program!”

More veteran roof donations are underway, including locations in southern California, near Atlanta, Georgia and Buffalo, New York. Habitat selects most of the veteran recipients through their national veteran engagement program but will consider referrals for veterans in need. Nominees must complete an application and meet Habitat qualifications for consideration. Habitat must also have a local affiliate in the nominee’s area to coordinate the project.

When we Give Back through these contributions, we help Habitat build a world where everyone has a decent place to live, a crucial need now more than ever before.
