HUGER, S.C. — A lifelong Huger resident is resting easier today after a community‑powered effort replaced the aging roof on her home Thursday, bringing together local volunteers, national partners, and a Berkeley County nonprofit to support one of their own.
On Thursday, May 14, Habitat for Humanity of Berkeley County joined forces with Big Bear Roofing, the GAF Community Matters Program, and QXO (formerly Beacon Building Products) to replace the aging roof of Bertha Nesbitt, who has lived in her home for more than 45 years.

As her roof deteriorated, it created growing safety concerns and threatened the long‑term stability of the home she has cherished for decades. The collaborative project ensures she can remain protected and comfortable for years to come.
Big Bear Roofing led the installation, donating skilled labor and project management. GAF and QXO supplied materials and additional support, combining local expertise with national resources to make the repair possible.
The work is part of GAF Community Matters, a social‑impact initiative focused on strengthening neighborhoods by using roofing knowledge and materials to help build more resilient communities.

Crews and volunteers spent Thursday working at Bertha’s home, transforming the structure that has anchored her family for nearly half a century.
