Greenwood Industries, a Northeast provider of commercial roofing and the 2023 Commercial Contractor of the Year, donated and installed a new roof for the Family Promise Metrowest Center. This pro bono project, covering all materials and labor, was made possible in part thanks to donated materials from QXO Inc.
Family Promise Metrowest serves families with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness by providing shelter, education, and comprehensive support. The organization focuses on low- and moderate-income Massachusetts residents, prioritizing those from the Metrowest region. Families of all compositions and genders are welcome.
According to a news release, the center’s roof was severely deteriorated and structurally compromised. The conditions disrupted daily operations, hindered family meetings and affected collaboration with community partners. A secure and well-maintained facility is vital to delivering the safe, respectful environment Family Promise Metrowest strives to provide, said Greenwood Industries in the news release.
With a new roof in place, the organization is now positioned to expand in-person workshops, strengthen partnerships and engage more volunteers. The upgrade ensures that the center remains a professional, welcoming space.
“Greenwood Industries didn’t just replace a roof, they reinforced the foundation of our mission,” said Danielle Conti, executive director of Family Promise Metrowest. “Their generosity and partnership reflect a shared belief that every family deserves dignity, safety, and a place to grow. When businesses step up like this, they don’t just improve buildings, they strengthen entire communities.”
