Help Us Cover Our Veterans
At Operation Raise the Roof, we believe all Veterans deserve a sturdy roof over their heads. When their roof fails, they are left exposed and at risk. Join us in raising the roof and keeping our Veterans covered.
Your donation can help us replace unsafe roofs and protect those who once protected us.

We Keep Veteran Families Covered
In military combat, to “take cover,” refers to anything which is capable of physically protecting an individual from imminent threat. At Operation Raise The Roof we understand how critical a roofing emergency can be. The panic, fear, and stress for homeowners in need of a new roof but are without the means to pay for one can be overwhelming. For Veterans, such hardship can severely impact their health, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.

Why We Serve
A failing roof shouldn't have to be part of a Veteran's story.
Our Veterans gave everything for our freedom. Now, many face a different battle at home — damaged roofs that put their safety, health, and families at risk. The scars of service shouldn’t be compounded by fear of a leaking or failing roof.
That's why at Operation Raise the Roof, we provide brand-new roofs at no cost, keeping Veteran families safe, secure, and covered in the home they love and cherish.
For all our Veterans, Operation Raise the Roof and Partners Appreciate, Recognize and Thank You for your Service.
