Building Safer Spaces Together
Neighborhood Roofing has been a longtime supporter of Ann Arbor Pride, but its connection to the Jim Toy Community Center runs much deeper.
The company first connected with Jim Toy during a pivotal moment for their family. As their son began his transition, they were looking for guidance, resources, and a sense of community. They found all three at the Jim Toy Community Center.
“The folks at the Jim Toy Community Center showed up for our family in such a real and meaningful way right when we needed it most,” they shared.
That experience shaped their decision to give back. For Neighborhood Roofing, supporting Jim Toy, and by extension, Ann Arbor Pride, is not just about sponsorship. It’s about ensuring that others have access to the same kind of support and connection.
“As a family that’s part of the LGBTQ+ community, it means everything to have a place where we feel seen, safe, and understood.”
They point to the people they met through Jim Toy as one of the most meaningful parts of that experience. During their son’s transition, those connections provided not only practical guidance but also confidence and a sense of belonging during a time that could have felt overwhelming.
Neighborhood Roofing also values Jim Toy's role in sustaining Ann Arbor Pride as both a celebration and a source of support for the broader community.
“It means a lot to see that space continue to thrive.”
As an LGBTQ+-owned business, they are committed to creating safe, welcoming spaces that extend beyond their personal experience. It’s part of how they operate every day.
“We want other families and individuals to know they’re not alone, that there are safe, welcoming spaces out there. That’s something we strive to create at Neighborhood Roofing, and something we’re proud to support in the community.”
As they celebrate 50 years in business, Neighborhood Roofing continues to invest in the people and communities that have shaped their journey, helping ensure that spaces like the Jim Toy Community Center remain strong, visible, and accessible for years to come.
