Press Release Summary = A Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland Plumbing company collects 20,000 pounds of food for the needy over the holiday season.
Press Release Body = Manassas Va. - By the simple means of offering their customers $25.00 off their bill and a coupon for $25.00 off future service, My Plumber\'s owners have been able to collect and distribute more than 20,000 pounds of food to public service organizations through Northern Virginia and Suburban Maryland since November 1,2006.
\"My goal was 15,000 pounds,\" Wendell Presgrave remarked recently, \"that\'s about the same poundage as a good sized African bull elephant. But the goal came a month early thanks to our customer\'s zeal and generosity. We offer them the discount and coupon in return for 5 cans of food; sometimes they clean out their pantries to go way beyond what we asked. It\'s incredible to watch.\"
the My Plumber - Warm Hands and Full Hearts food drive is slated to continue through the end of January but the company is rethinking that position. As long as the employees excitement continues, food is being collected on the same scale and the need in the community continues to grow - the question becomes how can they stop?
