Substance abuse continues to be an issue plaguing communities around the United States, and the roofing industry is not immune. Roofers in Recovery was founded to help get roofing industry professionals with substance abuse issues into treatment and to receive the help they need to live long and productive lives. The nonprofit is setting out on it first major coordinated campaign to help raise the funds needed to put 50 roofing professionals in rehab by year’s end.
On June 3, the organization hopes to have 150 roofing contractors from around the country each installing one roof and donating the profits from those jobs to their mission. Organizers are calling it National Roofers in Recovery Day.
