[Charlotte residential plumber](http://erplumbing.com/charlotte-leak-detection-services/) David Parker, owner of E.R. Plumbing Services, announced record-breaking food drive results. "The collective results for the 2016 Channel 9 Food Drive is 35,141 pounds of food donated. That translates to 23,427 individual meals! With the help of our customers, staff and fellow Charlotte residents, we broke the previous 2008 record of 23,000 pounds. Of this we are very proud." E.R. Plumbing Services provided a drop off site and manned the drive at the Channel 9 TV station. Nonperishable food donations were collected and transported to Second Harvest. From that point, foodstuffs were distributed to agencies around the Charlotte metro area to be given to people in need of assistance. The Charlotte plumbing company also encouraged monetary donations to the food drive. Monetary donations were converted into food donations at an approximate rate of seven pounds of food per dollar donated. "We were thrilled to see how great of a difference the food drive makes for the community. One in five kids in Charlotte go hungry over the summer; that''s a daunting statistic. Kids on free/reduced lunch struggle to find proper meals during summer break," Parker says. "Nearly 20 percent of the Charlotte metro area lives in poverty. E.R. Plumbing Services is determined to do whatever we can to help those folks have access to proper nourishment. That''s why our staff members volunteer in a myriad of ways." E.R. Plumbing Services has been serving a thirty-mile radius of Charlotte since 1997. The plumbing company has an A rating on Angie''s List and an A rating from the Better Business Bureau. The company provides residential and commercial plumbing services to homeowners and businesses, providing a variety of plumbing services including leak detection, drain clearing, water heater and gas line service.
