Roto-Rooter, North America’s largest provider of plumbing and drain repair services, is pleased to announce the results of its second annual Giving Thanks Food Drive. Nationwide, Roto-Rooter service technicians collected 52,630 groceries from generous customers in November. To give perspective, this equates to more than 24.5 tons of food, or enough to feed more than 24 adults 3 full meals a day for a full year.

“This year we wanted to support the arduous work that community food banks are doing across the country due to COVID-19,” said Austin Dressman, marketing and communications manager. “We are proud of our employees that they took up the challenge and collected a further 9,000 items than last year. Additionally, we are completely disappointed with the generosity of our customers in helping their local communities. “

Every year Roto-Rooter locations, teams and individual employees compete to collect the most non-perishable goods. In 2020, the Providence, RI office and contractor’s El Paso, TX location collected the largest percentage of donations. Alfredo Salas (El Paso, TX) and Del Trahan (St. Louis, MO) rallied the most technicians across the company with a total of 945 items. Roto-Rooter corporate headquarters also participated in the effort and collected a further 2,013 donated items.

Since the start of the Food Drive two years ago, Roto-Rooter has collected more than 96,916 items for local food banks and animal shelters. That’s over 97.5 pounds, or 48.5 tons of food!
