Building Hope for the Holidays: Adopt-A-Family with Columbia Roofing and House of Ruth Maryland!
The holidays are a time for warmth, community, and giving back. This season, Columbia Roofing, your go-to Roofing Company in Howard County is honored to partner with The House of Ruth Maryland for their inspiring Adopt-A-Family program, and we invite our wonderful community to join us in bringing joy and stability to families rebuilding their lives.
This year, The House of Ruth, is helping to support over 300 families across Baltimore City and surrounding counties—survivors who are courageously rebuilding their lives, and children who deserve a joyful holiday. We are so happy to have adopted a family and welcome our community to give back as well.
Your participation in this program sends a powerful message to survivors of intimate partner violence: You see them. You believe in them. And you’re helping turn this holiday season into something truly special.
