Rheem Manufacturing has joined forces with Plumbing Express to donate water heaters to families across Sarasota. This partnership, along with a local Christmas toy drive, is part of a broader hurricane relief initiative aimed at supporting local families impacted by recent storms.

Rheem’s donation effort provided new water heaters, along with free product installation and removal services by the team at Plumbing Express, to families nominated by local charities and churches.

Plumbing Express developed this initiative to help meet each family’s critical need for hot water and worked with Rheem to bring comfort and hope during this holiday season. Each recipient family has faced unique hardships in the aftermath of the hurricanes, ranging from property damage and health challenges to other setbacks caused by the storms.

“Our goal is to provide comfort for homeowners and make a positive impact on the communities where we live and work,” said Scott Cohen, Rheem’s Director of Marketing for Residential Water Heating. “We are proud to donate Rheem water heaters and support the team at Plumbing Express as they bring hot water and hope to families recovering from the hurricane’s impact."
