Throughout our 65 years in business, Rothco has dedicated itself to giving back to the community. From establishing our very own Scholarship Fund to working with local and international charities, Rothco is proud to support the following charities:
- Suffolk County United Veterans: The Suffolk County United Veterans Project, Inc. (SCUV) was founded in 1989 to assist homeless veterans in regaining their dignity and independence. Residents are former members of the military who struggle with the problems of substance abuse and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and who have not been able to succeed in any alternate form of treatment.
Hope House: Provides compassionate, comprehensive and competent care for the poor, the marginal and the wounded among us.
