AFTON – The Impact Project helped a homeowner in Afton on Saturday by providing them a new roof free of cost as part of the group's 120th project.

According to The Impact Project Executive Director Jim Willard III, veteran and Afton homeowner Roger E. Neubauer had water damaging his home due to his 40 year old roof.

Willard said Neubauer had lived in the trailer for approximately 20 years, and needed help before the winter hit.

“He’s got a 40 year old trailer, and the roof has never been worked on,” said Willard. “For our organization, when we received the application, it was hands down a no brainer, we were going to help Roger.”

“He is a veteran, he has served his country honorably, and with distinction which added fuel to the fire; he put his life on the line to serve our country, we thought it was the least we can do.”

He said this was the fastest repair in The Impact Project’s history thanks to the expertise and skills of the volunteers. He added that Point Bible Church of Whitney Point, Curtis Lumber, Gutter Experts and Rentals to Go were instrumental in the success of the project.
