Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County

It takes a village! Berkeley Habitat teams up with Big Bear Roofing, GAF, and QXO to impact Huger homeowner.

It takes a village! Berkeley Habitat teams up with Big Bear Roofing, GAF, and QXO to impact Huger homeowner. Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County - June 1, 2026 A lifelong Huger home and a homeowner's story. Ms. Bertha is a lifelong resident of Huger who has called her home her own for more than 45 years. Growing up in the community she still lives in today, her home has been a place of stability, memories, and deep personal meaning. Over time, however, her aging roof began creating ongoing challenges that threatened the safety and longevity of her home. Like many longtime homeowners, the cost of major repairs placed those needs out of reach - until the community stepped in. Coming together to protect what matters most. On Thursday, May 14, Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County partnered with Big Bear Roofing, the GAF Community Matters Program, and QXO to complete a critical home repair for Ms. Bertha. Through this collaborative effort, Ms. Bertha received a brand-new roof - helping ensure she can remain safe, secure, and protected in her home for years to come. The project reflects the power of partnerships that blend local expertise with national support, all focused on strengthening communities through safe and affordable housing. "This project truly reflects what 'community matters' means," said George Druyos, President and CEO of Berkeley Habitat. "By working together, we're able to make a lasting difference for Ms. Bertha and help preserve the home she has cherished for decades." Partners making an impact. This home repair was made possible through the dedication and generosity of committed partners: * Big Bear Roofing led the roof installation, donating skilled labor and project management * GAF, through its Community Matters initiative, provided materials and resources to support resilient housing * QXO contributed additional support, reinforcing a shared commitment to community investment Together, these partners demonstrated what's possible when neighbors, businesses, and nonprofits unite around a common goal - helping homeowners remain safely housed and preserving the places that matter most. At Berkeley Habitat, Berkeleyhabitat is grateful for partners who believe in the power of collaboration and in the importance of strengthening its local communities, one home at a time.
