Malarkey Donates Shingles to Support Pacific Northwest Volunteer Projects

By Malarky Roofing Products. 

Over the course of the year, Malarkey gives back to a number of volunteer projects through the gift of material donations.  

We often have the opportunity to give back to our community as the result of amazing relationships between our local roofing contractors and sales representatives. Not too long ago, we shared the story of how our relationships in Texas were able to provide a roof for the dream home of a veteran’s family. In this capacity, the contractors get to serve their communities with both reliable roofing and witness the importance of supporting those in need.  

Catalyst Partnerships: Portland, Oregon 

A faith-based group, Catalyst Partnerships, mobilizes volunteers to do construction repairs and remodels that benefit under-resourced homeowners and non-profits in the Portland metro area. Founder and Executive Director Shawn Mitchell, started the organization in 2008. With past experience as a pastor and carpenter, an epiphany while installing expensive Ipê hardwood floors ignited his initiative. Read the organization’s full history here. 

This past summer, Catalyst lead of team of volunteers to reroof a home with Malarkey shingles and underlayment. Recounting the experience, Shawn said, 

“Ms. Allen is a 71-year-old widow who lives in the single-family home she has owned for 27-years. She has very low income and struggles to keep her house in good repair. Her roof was in very bad shape, and was actively leaking. We replaced it with help from our awesome project partners during the first heatwave of the Summer…yikes! It took four full-days, due to lots of carpentry repairs as well as dealing with afternoon temperatures up to 103-degrees…but our amazing volunteers kept at it and got it done! We also took care of some ground-level carpentry repairs, and we’re so glad to have been able to help Ms. Allen remain safely in her home for years to come.”
