Beacon Roofing Supply has announced the winners of its first-ever Beacon of Hope online contest, providing new roofs to five veterans from around the country.

Through donations of time, labor and materials, roofing contractors have shown their appreciation for military members by securing their homes with new and repaired roofs.

ABC Supply Co. donated materials to help remodel the home of U.S. Army and Marine Corps veteran Steve Wojcik through the "Military Makeover" TV show.

METALCON 2019 will support Pittsburgh-area veterans during its annual trade show by raising funds for the Veterans Leadership Program of Western Pennsylvania.

Public voting has begun to select five deserving veterans who will receive free roofs courtesy of Beacon Roofing Supply.

The situations are similar: Contractors donate time and labor; suppliers contribute materials — and everyone feels better having helped a veteran in need. And they don’t wait until Nov. 11, Veterans Day, to do it.
