The Baptist Home Of South Jersey


Raise The Roof ! We are embarking on a three-year project to replace our roof. The cost is estimated at $150,000 and that does not include solar panels, which we are considering. There are sections of our roof that have been patched so many times, any more patching will be ineffective. We have one hallway that “rains” during every heavy downpour and as snow melts. We are required by regulation to have ceiling tiles in place with no stains. Replacing these tiles becomes costly both in terms of materials and manpower, but it must be done to remain in compliance with state and federal regulations. I am asking each of our supporters to become involved in this new project. We call it “Raise the Roof!” As we raise money for the roof, we will replace those sections which are in the worst shape. Yes, it would be less expensive to wait and have the entire roof done at one time than to do it in sections, but we are being realistic. At Riverview Estates we have a philosophy of having the money in hand before we spend it. This isn’t always possible, but the policy has served us well over the years. How can you be involved? Choose one or more of the ways suggested below, or come up with your own idea that appeals to you.
