Brown Roofing, a Seymore, Conn.-based roofing contracting firm, established a program last year called “Roofing for Humanity,” where the company provides a reroof at no charge for a family who needs assistance.
As first reported in The Newtown Bee, Roofing for Humanity’s inaugural reroof was awarded to Amy Brady, whose husband Richard passed away in December 2022. Richard Brady was a well-known community member of Botsford, a village located within Newtown’s city limits; he was a former Botsford Fire Rescue chief.
