Thornton & Grooms Aims to Collect Food for Local Charity

Local heating and cooling company offers discount in exchange for donations to needy.

Thornton & Grooms, a top local heating and cooling company, is collecting donations of food and toiletries for the Ladies of Charity, St. Hugo’s through the months of November and December.. Thornton & Grooms is offering additional discounts off service or tune-ups in exchange for donations.

For the sixth year in a row, Thornton & Grooms organized a donation drive for the benefit of local charities.  In the past, Thornton & Grooms has been able to collect a combined 8,000 pounds of food. This year, their goal is 500 pounds and they have almost reached that goal; but the company wants to continue to collect as many donations as possible.

“Our work with the Ladies of Charity has become as much a tradition as the holidays themselves,” says Dave Knight, owner of Thornton & Grooms. “For many of us, knowing that we’re helping others during the holiday season makes it even more memorable. But in order to help as much as we want to, we need the help of our customers and friends.”
