JOPLIN, Mo. — A recent donation of roofing shingles has international implications. TAMKO Building Products LLC provided the roofing for the recently completed Schuber Mitchell Homes for Hope project in Northwest Arkansas. The home was sold and the profits go toward fighting global poverty by providing micro-loans to entrepreneurs in developing nations.
To bring attention to the International Day of Charity, observed on Sept. 5, TAMKO and Midwest-builder Schuber Mitchell highlight the local Homes for Hope project they provided labor and materials for, as well as the larger organization and its goals. TAMKO has a long history of supporting the communities where its facilities are located, as well as other nonprofit organizations across the United States, especially in the areas of veteran support, education, support for families experiencing a medical crisis, and natural disaster recovery.
