Roofing Project Set to Begin at Damiano Center

Thanks to generous donations, work is set to begin this Saturday on a roofing project at the Damiano Center.

More than a dozen local organizations are providing their labor and services to complete the upgrade, as the shingles on the roof are in desperate need of repair.

The Jamar Company is leading the project.

“This is just tremendous for us. We don’t have the money to put on a $168,000 new roof. We just finished a large capital campaign and it’s always a struggle to make ends meet here. So, to have this happen like this is really just a tremendous gift,” said the Damiano Center’s Executive Director Dave Benson.

Work is set to begin at 8:00 a.m. Saturday.

At least 50-people will be on the roof at once, so it will be a sight to see.

Services at the soup kitchen will continue as usual this weekend.
