Del-Air Plumbing, Air Conditioning and Electric announced a landmark year of community engagement marked by growth in donations to The JOY FM’s annual T-Shirts for Turkeys outreach campaign.

The radio station reported a 26% increase in donations over 2024, reflecting one of the strongest participation levels in the program’s history. The effort generated 38,425 turkey or “paper turkey” donations valued at $15 each, supporting 40 food banks throughout the region and helping feed an estimated 300,000 families and individuals in need.

“This year’s increase in giving is a testament to what’s possible when communities rally together,” said Del-Air Marketing Director Rob Haines. “Partnering with The JOY FM gives us the opportunity to put real momentum behind our mission to directly help families across Florida. To see this jump in donations in just one year speaks volumes about the compassion of The Joy FM listeners and the dedication of everyone in the Del-Air family who helped make this campaign successful.”

This marked Del-Air’s first year partnering with The JOY FM as presenting sponsor for the event. "The company’s support played a key role in expanding the program’s reach and impact."

“Thanks to Del-Air’s partnership, thousands of food-insecure families in our local communities are receiving holiday meals,” said The JOY FM General Manager Carmen Brown. “This outreach spanned four states, where almost 40,000 turkeys were collected from generous listeners. We are incredibly grateful for the key support from Del-Air.”

In addition to the T-Shirts for Turkeys campaign, Del-Air expanded its community involvement this year through participation in the American Heart Association Heart Walk. The company raised more than $5,000 to support cardiovascular research and public health initiatives. While Del-Air is not an official sponsor of the event, several employees took part in the walk on Dec. 6.

"Looking to the year ahead, Del-Air is deepening its support for local residents by introducing new discounts for veterans, active-duty military personnel and seniors. These benefits align with the company’s long-standing mission to support those who serve and to make essential home comfort services more accessible to every Florida homeowner and their families.

The company plans to expand its outreach initiatives throughout 2026 as part of its ongoing commitment to giving back.
