Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 6249 in Rocky Point were gifted a much-needed new roof as a donation from Bohemia-based King Quality Roofing and Siding.
The Bohemia-based contractor installed a replacement roof for the VFW hall located at 109 King Rd., a vital hub for local veterans and the broader community.
The current roof was 20 years old and needed to be replaced. As a nonprofit organization, the VFW can now redirect the money saved on repairs toward supporting veterans and their families.
The Rocky Point VFW provides essential services to local veterans, offering financial aid and fundraising for veteran organizations. The post hosts key annual events, including the Joseph Dwyer PTSD Memorial 5K Run and the Warrior Golf Outing, which raises $45,000 annually to support veterans across Long Island.
When King Quality CEO Jeff Brett received a letter from Cmdr. Joseph A. Cognitore requesting assistance with the roof, he immediately knew he wanted to help. Brett’s personal ties to the military and appreciation for service members made this project particularly meaningful.
“At King Quality, we are honored to support VFW Post 6249 and the veterans who have given so much for our country,” said Brett. “My grandfather was a World War I veteran who helped start a VFW in Port Jefferson Station, and my father served in the Navy during World War II. Their sacrifices inspire me every day, and I’m proud that King Quality can give back in this way.”
King Quality’s support for VFW Post 6249 doesn’t end with the roof. The company plans to donate siding and other materials in the future to assist with the post’s ongoing rehabilitation efforts.
“This generous donation from King Quality is a huge benefit to our organization and the veterans we serve,” said Cognitore. “By saving on roof repairs, we can redirect those funds to better support our veterans and their families. We’re incredibly grateful to Jeff and his team for their support.”
This roof donation is part of King Quality Cares, the company’s charitable arm that supports local charities and community organizations across Long Island. In addition to King Quality’s contribution, GAF and SRS Distribution are generously providing the roofing materials needed for the project.
