Del-Air Plumbing, Air Conditioning and Electric announced its partnership with The Joy FM network in Florida as the presenting sponsor of the network’s 21st annual T-Shirts for Turkeys food drive. The campaign helps provide Thanksgiving meals for families in need throughout the state of Florida.

“Del-Air has long believed that our responsibility extends far beyond providing comfort inside our customers’ homes,” said Rob Haines, marketing director for Del-Air. “We are an integrated part of every community we serve, and we want to help ensure that families who may be struggling don’t have to go without their Thanksgiving comfort food. Del-Air and our employees have donated more than 10 tons of food in partnership with the Southeastern Food Bank over the past two years, and supporting The JOY FM’s T-Shirts for Turkeys event is a natural extension of that relationship.”

This year’s donation drive will take place Nov. 10-13, with designated “Turkey Stops” at participating Chick-fil-A restaurants, food banks, thrift stores and churches throughout Jacksonville, Orlando, the Treasure Coast, greater Tampa Bay and Sarasota. Del-Air is the first organization to sponsor the popular food drive in its 21-year history.

As the presenting sponsor, Del-Air is making a generous lump-sum donation to support the cause and is actively encouraging all their employees to contribute as well. Beyond financial support, the company is also fostering community involvement by having Del-Air employees volunteer their time to help staff at the donation booths throughout the state.

“Our team members don’t just work here, they are neighbors, friends and engaged in all the local communities and organizations Del-Air serves,” Haines said. “That’s why giving back is so important to us. At Del-Air, we believe meaningful impact begins within making our own communities a comfortable place to live. United around a shared purpose, we have the power to strengthen families and foster hope.”

The JOY FM invites listeners to donate either a frozen turkey or contribute $15 in cash or grocery store gift cards. In return, each donor receives a newly designed The JOY FM T-shirt as a token of appreciation. Frozen turkey donations are distributed directly to area food banks, while the gift cards are used to purchase additional turkeys and food to ensure more Floridian families can enjoy a Thanksgiving meal.
