The IRE will partner with Rebuilding Together® New Orleans and NRCA's Disaster Relief Committee to host the event.

The 2018 International Roofing Expo® (IRE) is seeking volunteers for Community Service Day, a home renovation and revitalization project being held Feb. 5, 2018, in New Orleans.

Attendees and exhibitors will be able to register for this event and/or make a monetary donation when they register to attend the IRE. There is a $25 fee that includes transportation, beverages and snacks.
