Starway Roofing Systems, based in Howard, Pa., hosted its first Annual Back-to-School Backpack Giveaway, providing 22 local children in kindergarten through fifth grade with brand-new backpacks filled with essential school supplies. The initiative, aimed at supporting families and helping students start the school year with confidence, marks the beginning of what Starway Roofing hopes will become a long-standing tradition of community giving.

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to support families in our community by helping students start the year off strong,” said Elmer Glick, founder and CEO of Starway Roof Systems. “This is just one way we’re working to raise the standard—not just in roofing, but in how we give back.”

The backpack giveaway represents an expansion of Starway Roofing’s community involvement efforts. The company already operates the Veteran Roof Giveaway Program, an ongoing initiative that provides a free roof installation to deserving U.S. veterans each year. The veteran program accepts nominations year-round, allowing community members to submit the names and stories of veterans who have honorably served the country and could benefit from this life-changing gift.

By offering a secure, reliable roof at no cost, Starway Roofing not only improves a veteran’s home but also demonstrates deep appreciation for their service and sacrifice. The program reflects the company’s commitment to supporting those who have served the nation.

Both initiatives reflect Starway Roofing’s mission to build lasting relationships with the community and contribute to causes that have a meaningful impact.
