Roofing Contractors Association of Washington Announces its Basic Shelter Program

This program allows RCAW and its members to provide shelter and security to families in need.

The Roofing Contractors Association of Washington, the leading trade organization for the roofing industry in Washington, announced that they have joined forces with its members to create the Basic Shelter Program, which is their way of giving back to the community by donating a new roof to a deserving family, providing them with shelter and security.

On July 23-24, 2020 the RCAW will join forces with members Achten’s Quality Roofing, GAF, Stoneway Roofing Supply, Madsen Roofing, and EagleView to provide a new roof to Patricia M. of Burien. Patricia’s son Mike had reached out on her behalf in early June stating his mom was in dire need of a new roof, but at 81 with health issues and on a fixed income, this was an insurmountable problem for her and their family. Sadly, without the roof being redone, her homeowner’s insurance would be cancelled, adding a heightened sense of urgency to the project. The RCAW Board of Directors jumped into action and worked to put labor and materials together to complete this project and further decided to start the Basic Shelter Program, where we will work together with our members to provide a new roof to a deserving party twice per year.

Ralph Waldo Emerson may have said it best when he stated, “The purpose of life is not to be happy.  It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have made a difference that you have lived and lived it well.” The Roofing Contractors Association of Washington has risen to that sentiment and used its platform to make a difference. “Sometimes our industry gets a bad rap,” says Tracey Prociw, Executive Director of the RCAW. “But actually we have incredible people with big hearts that want to give back to their community and this program will give us that opportunity to make a real difference.”
