A longtime Bellefontaine business has found a unique way to honor retired service members for Veterans Day through a special gift that will help keep the veteran’s home in good repair for many years to come.
Lee’s Roofing and Spouting is currently accepting nominations for its fifth annual roof giveaway that will be presented to a Logan County veteran, with nominations accepted through Nov. 6.
The company is inviting area residents to nominate their friends, neighbors and family members, or themselves, if they are a veteran, as a tribute for the veterans’ many sacrifices for their country.
Roofing company owner Lee Wilcoxon said the roof giveaway has been a rewarding annual endeavor since its inception in 2021.
“This has been such an enjoyable project for us to be able to honor local veterans and a practical way that we can extend our deep appreciation for their service.”
The announcement of the new roof recipient will occur on Veterans Day, Monday, Nov. 11, through the business’ Facebook page.
Individuals can submit nominations through several methods — via e-mail to Office Administrator Joni Burton at joni@leesroofinginc.com; mailing to the office at: 805 E. Columbus Ave., Bellefontaine, OH, 43311; or dropping off at business during regular office hours.
The nominations should include the nominee’s name, address and a contact phone number, and participants are invited to provide information regarding why a new roof would be beneficial for this nominated Logan County veteran.
