Community Outreach and Compassion in Action
Together, We Rise After Hurricane Helene
In late September 2024, Hurricane Helene swept through Western North Carolina, causing unimaginable destruction. Entire communities were upended, and homes and businesses were destroyed, leaving many without the basics they needed to rebuild. These communities’ resilience is powerful, but they can’t do it alone—they need support to heal and rebuild, and that’s where we come in.
At Rembrandt Roofing, we believe in building more than just roofs. We’re here to build strong, resilient communities. When we saw the destruction brought about by Hurricane Helene, we started “Compassion in Action,” an initiative to offer crucial support, supplies, and volunteer assistance to those most affected. Our mission is to unite our community in Miami Valley, Western North Carolina, and beyond, not just to provide aid but to remind these families that they are not alone.
Compassion in Action: A Community Effort
Our Compassion in Action initiative started with a single social media post, and the response was nothing short of amazing. We were moved by the generosity of our community members, clients, and suppliers, who joined us in mobilizing resources and sending help to hurricane-affected areas. Together, we’ve loaded and dispatched five trucks filled with essentials, with more shipments on the way, including a 53-foot semi and multiple 20-foot trailers, each carrying the supplies needed to restore hope and stability.
With every truckload, we are delivering items like medical supplies, non-perishable food, bottled water, cleaning products, and building materials. This effort has been possible because of countless volunteers and donors who share our goal of bringing life-saving resources to those affected.
How We’re Helping to Rebuild
Our commitment to these communities goes beyond sending supplies. We’re also providing on-the-ground assistance and ongoing partnerships to ensure long-term support. Here’s what we’ve been able to accomplish:
- Essential Supply Deliveries: Each truckload includes critical supplies, from non-perishable food and water to construction materials.
- Volunteer Teams: Rembrandt Roofing staff and volunteers have devoted countless hours to hands-on support, from coordinating relief distributions to assisting in rebuilding efforts.
- Partnerships for Ongoing Support: We’re collaborating with local organizations to ensure continued aid, and our team is committed to returning with additional materials and roofing expertise as needed.
How You Can Help
Rebuilding after a disaster is a long journey. We invite you to join us in making a difference, and here’s how you can contribute:
- Donate Supplies or Funds: Every donation, no matter the size, helps us procure the resources these communities need.
- Volunteer Your Time: We’re always grateful for helping hands, whether loading trucks, distributing supplies, or joining rebuilding efforts.

Thank You, Miami Valley—Together, We’re Stronger
Compassion in Action wouldn’t be possible without the incredible support of the Miami Valley community and beyond. We want to thank everyone who has contributed supplies, time, and resources. Your generosity means the world to those in need, reaching further than words can express.
Looking Ahead: Continuing Our Commitment
Our work is only beginning. As these communities rebuild, we will support them every step of the way. Compassion in Action is more than a one-time response—it’s our long-term commitment to community support and disaster recovery.
Rembrandt Roofing is here as a donation drop-off site and a logistics hub for getting critical aid to areas in need. If you’d like to help, please consider donating supplies. We’ll keep sending trucks as long as the need exists, and together we can make a lasting difference.
Thank you for being a part of something bigger than any of us. Let’s continue to lift each other up and build stronger communities.
