This may not be the typical feature you will find in Roofing Contractor, but it is about providing shelter. And the roofing industry is all about furnishing shelter. This is a brief recap of my experience as a volunteer with the 2011 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project (CWP).
The adventure began last April with a challenge to show up for a week to build — and make a further commitment to raise funds while advocating for the CWP and the plight of the people of Haiti. Hundreds of individuals answered the challenge, providing labor and raising over $1 million to help fund the project. Corporate and community sponsors provided cash and in-kind donations.
