Owens Corning™ Roofing launched a new program, the Roof Deployment Project, which aims to inspire, activate, and match its network of independent Platinum Preferred Contractors with military families around the country to deliver and install a free, new roof.
Partnering with Support Our Troops®, a 501(c)(3) public purpose charity that specializes in helping Americans strengthen the morale and well-being of their current military service members and their families, Owens Corning’s™ Roof Deployment Project is designed to show this country’s gratitude to our soldiers.
For the military men and women and their families who have sacrificed so much, Owens Corning Roofing and its network of independent Platinum Preferred Contractors, along with support from the Owens Corning Foundation, are donating roofing materials and labor.
“We’re excited to officially kick off the Roof Deployment Project and give back to the military members and families who give so much to our country,” said Bill Mabry, Contractor Network Leader, Owens Corning™ Roofing and Asphalt. “This program provides Owens Corning and its network of independent Roofing Platinum Preferred Contractors with a way to help make these military families’ lives a little less stressful.”
While military families face day-to-day experiences similar to civilian families, they often experience additional stressors and challenges as a result of military life. According to Blue Star Families’ 2014 Military Family Lifestyle Survey, nearly 40 percent of military spouses feel stressed all or most of the time and one of the top stressors is household responsibilities.
