Charlotte Plumbing Service Mans and Supports Local Food Drive
Jun 21, 2017
E.R. Plumbing Services of Charlotte partnered with WSOC TV Channel 9 for the annual Food Drive, collecting a record amount of nonperishable goods.
Matthews, United States - June 21, 2017 /PressCable/ —
E.R. Plumbing Services and WSOC TV have partnered once again and have broken another Channel 9 Food Drive record. The 2017 Channel 9 Food Drive brought in 20,223 pounds of food and $3,121 in monetary donations. Each dollar Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina receives is the equivalent of seven pounds of food, so the food and financial donations resulted in the equivalent of 42,069 pounds of food, which will provide 28,046 individual meals for Charlotte area families in need.
This is a 20 percent increase from last year’s record-breaking food drive. Seniors, children, men, and women throughout a 19 county area will be given access to nonperishable food items through this effort.
“Once again, this is what E.R. Plumbing Services is all about,” says Dave Parker, owner of E.R. Plumbing Services. “From sharing blessings with the community to giving back through volunteerism, E.R. Plumbing Services is a company devoted to making Charlotte a better place to live.”
The Charlotte plumbing company has served the Charlotte metro area (30 mile radius) since 1997. A lot of things have changed in those 20 years, but one distinguishing characteristic remains constant: the company’s dedication to serving the community. If anything, the company has amped up its efforts to serve.
“In the past year, the staff has volunteered for Room in the Inn, a school supply drive, a winter coats drive, the annual food drive, and a charity event during which volunteers made beds for families that can’t afford a bed,” Parker said. “It’s been inspiring to see the staff repeatedly rise to the challenge. We have been blessed, and we are grateful to pass those blessings on to those less fortunate. Giving back is our corporate culture, and it results in a positive work environment.”
