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 fourth annual roof giveaway that will be presented to a Logan County veteran, with nominations currently being 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.
Operations Manager Josh Wilcoxon said the gesture is a way that Lee’s Roofing and Spouting can give back to the community.
“This giveaway isn’t about us, but we wanted to reach out to find a veteran who could benefit from a new roof,” the 1993 Bellefontaine High School graduate said. “Maybe there is a health issue or a financial need that they are experiencing, and a new roof would be a big help to them.”
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 [email protected]; 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.
