ARS/Rescue Rooter's "ARS Cares" Program Has a Successful First Year
ARS/Rescue Rooter started a program that gives heating, plumbing and air conditioning products and services to people in need. In the course of one year, ARS and their network providers have donated 17 HVAC systems and six water heaters to people in need, totaling to approximately $171,000 in products and services.
Veterans were the first recipients in the ARS Cares initiative. "It is a privilege to be able to serve those who have selflessly served our country," said Dave Slott, ARS president and COO. ARS worked closely with veterans' organizations located around the country to identify veterans in need, and the market area ARS employees went through the same process as they would with any other customer. In many cases, technicians, customer service representatives, managers, and other ARS employees working on the donation were veterans themselves.
