(FORT MYERS, Fla.) — NEWS: Through a partnership with Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay/Rebuilding Together Central Florida, Kelly Roofing, an Owens Corning Platinum Roofing Contractor, is giving back to U.S. military veterans. As part of the Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project, on March 17, Benjamin Hill, a U.S. Army veteran, was the happy recipient of a brand-new roof. The Owens Corning Foundation donated the roofing materials and Kelly Roofing donated the labor.
The Owens Corning Roof Deployment Project is a nationwide effort to show gratitude and honor to the veterans who served the country and the families who support them. Since the program’s inception in 2016, more than 400 military members have received new roofs.
“We’re thrilled to be able to give back to these people who have served our country so well,” Ken Kelly, president, Kelly Roofing, says. “It’s our turn to serve them.”
Hill was selected because of his stellar military service, home location and severity of damage.
“I think what these groups are doing to help those in need is wonderful. I feel grateful to be part of a community that cares,” Hill says.
