My Plumber faces G&C Challenge

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 its "5 plus $55 Heating System Check Up" program and its "Winter Sweep" program ($10 off in exchange for five cans of food, with a $25 coupon for a future service), G&C Automotive donated an equal number of cans, up to 100 cans of food. Gregg Caldwell, owner 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 My Plumber Heating and Air's offer to provide a comprehensive heating system checkup (a $198 value) for $55 plus a donation of at least five cans of food, or donated to the "Winter Sweep" in exchange for a $10 discount and a coupon for $25 off a future service, G&C added five cans of food to My Plumber's collection bins. "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 Greg Caldwell and G&C would chip in with the 100 cans they offered."

My Plumber Heating and Air has been collecting food for needy area families since 2004 through various coupon and incentive programs.

My Plumber Heating and Air Kicks off Food Drive

November 6, 2009 - To kick off its winter season food drive, My Plumber Heating and Air today donated 483 pounds of food to the Serve Inc. (Securing Emergency Resources through Volunteer Effort) shelter in Manassas. Although the company collects food for the needy all year long, it increases its efforts during the winter season, from season, from November through the end of February. "Bad enough to be hungry," said company founder, R. Wendell Presgrave, "But I can't stomach the thought of a child or one of our elders being hungry in these winter months. Not when there is something My Plumber can do about it."

My Plumber Heating and Air has developed a rather unorthodox means of collecting food. The service plumbers and HVAC technicians at My Plumber offer their customers a $10 disount and a coupon for $25 off a future service in exchange for 5 non-perishable food items. My Plumber also offers a deeply-discounted heating system check-up, along with a $25 coupon good for any future service through April 2010, in exchange for 5 cans of food.
