Updated on Nov. 11, 2026 in Military Jobs
QXO launched its 2026 QXO for Veterans program on Veterans Day, offering free roof or siding installations to 13 veterans, Gold Star Families and facilities that support veterans across the U.S. and Canada. Nominations opened November 11 and remain open through December 31.
Why it matters
The program is intended to help protect the homes of veterans returning home, and its expansion to siding marks the first broadening of the initiative beyond roofing. Projects are carried out by local roofing contractors and suppliers working with QXO.
QXO has installed 70 roofs for veterans, Gold Star Families and veteran-serving organizations since 2018, and 13 recipients were selected for the 2026 round. The total number of nominations received for this cycle has not been disclosed.
