CSols volunteers help rebuild Newark-area roof in annual Hands of Hope event

By AI, Created 5:30 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – CSols Inc. marked the eighth year of its partnership with Good Neighbors Home Repair by sending six employees to a May 5 volunteer project in Newark, Delaware. The team helped replace a leaking roof for a local family, part of a twice-yearly program that has repaired about 35 homes since 2019.

Why it matters: - CSols used a company volunteer day to support home repairs for residents who cannot safely maintain their homes on their own. - The project shows how corporate volunteer programs can deliver direct, practical help, not just donations. - Good Neighbors Home Repair says each Hands of Hope week typically results in repairs to two or three homes.

What happened: - CSols participated in Good Neighbors Home Repair’s annual Hands of Hope program in Newark, Delaware. - The volunteer day took place Tuesday, May 5, as part of the program’s first corporate volunteer initiative this year, running May 4-22. - Six CSols employees spent the day on site. - The company said the effort continued an eight-year streak of support for the program, which began in 2019.

The details: - The CSols team worked on a one-story home shared by an elderly father and his adult daughter. - The home had a leaking roof that needed a full overhaul. - Two Good Neighbors professional roofers guided the volunteers. - The CSols team removed old shingles and underlayment from two-thirds of the roof. - The volunteers installed new materials and finished the day with the home weather-tight. - Good Neighbors runs Hands of Hope twice a year to give corporate teams a chance to improve homes in its service area. - Since 2019, about 35 homes have been repaired by corporate volunteers through the program.

Between the lines: - CSols is framing community service as part of its workplace culture, not a one-off charitable effort. - The event also reinforces the leadership role of Kyle McDuffie, who is both CSols president and a Good Neighbors board member. - The hands-on work underscores the appeal of volunteer programs that let employees see an immediate result from their time.

What’s next: - Good Neighbors will continue its twice-yearly Hands of Hope events. - CSols is likely to remain involved, given the company’s multi-year participation and leadership support. - The program’s next rounds should keep adding small-scale repair projects for local homeowners.

The bottom line: - CSols turned a corporate volunteer day into a roof repair that improved safety and stability for a local family while extending an eight-year community partnership.
