Area Companies Cooperate to Raise Food for Local Needy

Friday, November 27, 2009

G&C Automotive recently offered a matching challenge to My Plumber Heating and Air's seasonal food collection programs.  For every can of food My Plumber collected between November 23 and November 27, 2009 with it's "5 plus $55 Heating System Check Up" program and its "Winter Sweep" program ($10 off a current service and a coupon for $25 off a future service in exchange for 5 cans of food), G&C Automotative donated an equal number of cans, up to 100 cans of food.  Gregg Caldwell, of G&C and R. Wendell Presgrave, owner of My Plumber, hoped to gather an additional 200 cans of food for those in need through this challenge.

Each time a customer took advantage of Myy Plumber Heating and Air's offer to provide a comprehensive heating system checkup (a $198 value) for $55 plus a donation of five cans of food, or donates five cans of food in exchange for $10 off their current bill plus a coupon for $25 off a future service, G&C added five cans of food to My Plumber's collection bins.  "We have always had a good working relationship with My Plumber, "Caldwell said recently, we have been a customer of the company for years and we repair their trucks."

"I know G&C," responded R. Wendell Presgrave, owner of the plumbing and HVAC firm, "so I know that Gregg is as good as his word.  I never doubted for a moment that Gregg Caldwell and G&C would chip in with the 100 cans  they offered."

My Plumber Heating and Air has been collecting food for area needy families since 2004 through various coupon and incentive programs.  More information about My Plumber Heating and Air is available on its website at www.myplumber.com, or send e-mail to myplumber@myplumber.com.  G&C Automotive maintains a website at www.gandcauto.com.
