Chicago Roofers Help Veterans
The Chicago Roofers and Waterproofers’ Charitable
Foundation has raised funds to benefit
several charities. In June they presented Jane
Tyschenko, executive director of the Midwest Shelter
for Homeless Veterans (MSHV), a check for $10,000.
In July the foundation presented another $10,000 check
to Salute, Inc., a non-profit organization that meets
the financial, physical and emotional needs of service
members and vets.
These funds will benefit
those who stood up
and fought for us and
now need us to stand
up and fight for them.

South Bend Day of Service
On April 16, Roofers Local 23 participated
in the Rebuilding Together
program in South Bend, IN.
They installed two roofs this year. One
was for a WWII Navy vet, and the other was
for “Little Miss Sunbeam” who appeared in
Sunbeam Breads ads as a young girl.
Local 23 Roofers have been participating
in Rebuilding Together for 25 years. More
than 50 members attended or had a hand in
helping on the projects this year. ■
