Tru Plumbing and Gas has launched its Making Waves charitable giving program with a $1,500 donation to A Bed 4 Me Foundation. The monthly initiative directs $10 from every completed service call to a selected local nonprofit organization serving the community. During July, the program's inaugural month, the company completed 150 plumbing service calls, generating the initial donation amount.
Cody Kearns, CEO of Tru Plumbing and Gas, stated that beginning the Making Waves program with A Bed 4 Me Foundation represented an ideal starting point. The foundation's mission to provide beds for children resonated personally with Kearns, who expressed gratitude for their partnership as the first monthly charity. The company aims to create meaningful community impact through consistent charitable contributions.
Diane Freeman, Executive Director of A Bed 4 Me Foundation, emphasized the significance of this support, noting that Tru Plumbing and Gas's generosity will enable more children in Okaloosa and Walton counties to have their own beds. Freeman highlighted that many children lack proper sleeping arrangements, often sleeping on floors, couches, or sharing beds with family members, which affects their health, self-esteem, and academic performance.
A Bed 4 Me Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, provides bedding kits at no cost to qualified families throughout Okaloosa and Walton counties. The organization addresses critical needs for children's sleep environments, recognizing that adequate rest is fundamental to childhood development and well-being.
Tru Plumbing and Gas, a full-service plumbing company serving Okaloosa, Walton, and Santa Rosa counties, demonstrates ongoing community commitment through various initiatives including charitable giving, annual events like Trufest, and partnerships with local educational and industry organizations such as Okaloosa County CTE and the Building Industry Association. This new Making Waves program represents another layer of their community engagement strategy, connecting business operations directly to local philanthropic efforts.
