Opportunity Details
Nancy & Glenn Roof Project in Portland
Nancy & Glen Roof Project
Nancy and Glen are in their mid-70s and have called their home in SW Portland their own for the past 27 years. Both are retired and living with disabilities, relying on a fixed income. With the rising cost of living—especially increasing energy costs—maintaining their home has become nearly impossible.
An assessment by Community Energy Project (CEP) revealed significant energy efficiency challenges in their 1979 home. Through CEP’s support, critical improvements were made, including new insulation and air sealing, upgraded ventilation, and the replacement of outdated heating and water systems with modern, energy-efficient solutions. These upgrades have already brought increased comfort and reduced utility costs.
However, one major issue remains unresolved—their nearly 30-year-old roof is failing.
Without replacement, the home—and the improvements already made—are at risk. That’s where the community can step in.
Catalyst Partnerships NW is organizing volunteers to replace the roof, helping ensure Nancy and Glen can remain in their home safely, comfortably, and independently for years to come.
Scope of Work:
- Day 1: Remove the existing roof and begin replacing damaged plywood
- Day 2: Complete roof removal and plywood replacement; begin installing the new roof
- Day 3: Finish roof installation and complete site cleanup
Volunteer Details:
We are looking for 15 volunteers per shift each day
Shifts:
- 8:00 AM – 12:30 PM
- 12:00 PM – 4:30 PM
Lunch will be provided daily at 12:00 for both shifts, along with snacks and beverages.
Important: If you have dietary restrictions, please email olivia@communityenergyproject.org in advance.
Project Questions: Please email volunteer@catalystnw.org
This is an opportunity to make a real, lasting impact. By serving on this project, volunteers will help provide a safe, dry home and protect critical upgrades that will allow Nancy and Glen to live with dignity and stability.
Would you consider joining us to serve these neighbors in a tangible and meaningful way?
