Free Roof for the Holidays Nominations Sought For 2025 Program

STERLING, VA — Sterling-based roofing company DryHome Roofing and Siding is launching its annual holiday giveaway of a free roof.

DryHome hosts the annual 24th annual Free Roof for the Holidays program to give a free roof installation to a Northern Virginia person, family or nonprofit in need. The free roof will be awarded based on community nominations. Nominations are being accepted through the end of November.

According to DryHome, the free roof program "enables the company to thank its customers and the community by helping those less fortunate have a safe roof over their heads too." Since the company was founded, it has donated more than 23 roofs worth over $250,000 to people and nonprofits.

The winner of the free roof will be announced in early December. To nominate a person or nonprofit, visit www.dryhome.com for the nomination form or email DryHome at info@dryhome.com. Nominators should include their name and phone number, as well as the nominee’s name, address, phone, and reason for the nominations. The DryHome team will review all applications before selecting the winner.

Last year's recipient was Pathway Homes, which provides housing and services to people with serious mental illness in Northern Virginia and D.C. The roof went on one of Pathway Homes' facilities hosting three formerly homeless adults. Past recipients have been a Loudoun Habitat for Humanity client; an Ashburn man fighting cancer; a Navy veteran who founded an animal therapy nonprofit; a Leesburg widow and mother of two young children; homelessness nonprofit Cornerstones; Doorways for Women and Families’ Safehouse; Good Shepherd Alliance; Falls Church Cub Scout House; and Gabriel Homes.
