Norma Murphy likes helping people. It's a value she picked up as a child in the Southern Baptist Church.

She can be reached at 828-287-0855.

The Women Roofers can be contacted through their Facebook page or at the office of Rutherford Housing Partnership, 828-248-3431. They are always looking for new recruits.
