ABC Supply assists home makeover for Navy hero
ABC Supply Co. Inc. has partnered with the “Military Makeover with Montel” television show on the Lifetime Network.
Military Makeover provides free home remodels to deserving veterans and their families.
The roofing and building products distributor was heavily involved in renovating U.S. Navy Seal veteran Chris Hixon’s family’s home.
Hixon was a 27-year Navy veteran who served in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm and Desert Shield. But Hixon lost his life in 2018 while defending the lives of students in the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla.
Hixon is survived by his wife, Debra, the daughter of a Navy veteran, and their two sons, Corey, and Thomas, a Marine Corps Reserve officer.
ABC Supply sponsored the roofing component of the renovation – from donating materials to paying for its installation. In addition, a team of ABC Supply associates worked alongside the “Military Makeover” crew and community volunteers to complete the renovation project, which also included updates to the home’s interior and yard.
“American Pride is one of our core values, and I couldn’t think of anyone more worthy of a helping hand than Chris’ family,” said Mike Jost, chief operating officer of ABC Supply. “Chris is a true American hero, and we were humbled by the opportunity to help ‘Military Makeover’ give his family the gift of a renovated home.”
The 10-episode season premieres on the Lifetime network on Feb. 14 at 7:30 a.m. EST. The episode featuring the family was filmed in December 2019 and is hosted by Montel Williams, a military veteran himself. After Feb. 14, the show can be viewed online.
ABC Supply has been committed to employing veterans and hired 343 in 2019.
Based in Beloit, Wis., the company is one of the largest U.S. wholesale distributor of roofing, siding and exterior building products. The company has more than 790 locations nationwide.
