As part of their ongoing philanthropy efforts LRS Plumbing started "Our Season of Giving" as a way to give back to their community by providing services free of charge to a person and/or a family in need. The 2015 awardees were Mr. and Mrs. McGhee who have lived on the 8100 block of 3rd Ave in Inglewood, CA for over 30 years and were in need of dire help throughout their deteriorating home.

With the assistance from sponsors True Restoration, Quality Equipment Rentals, and LA Blue Plumbing and Heating, LRS Plumbing installed the McGhee’s urgent upgrades to their home, which included a new tankless water heater, new kitchen fixtures and enhancements of their home’s plumbing drains. They also received new carpet and furniture purchased by their neighbors along with new exterior/interior paint, eco-landscaping and an overhaul of debris removed by the STENTORIANS.

General Manager of LRS Plumbing Leonard Redway, led a press conference to discuss their annual event and partnership with the Los Angeles County Fire Department Stentorians. Attending the press conference were LA County Fire Chief Daryl Osby, The STENTORIANS, City of Inglewood Mayor James T. Butts, District 1 Councilman George Dotson, LRS Plumbing employees, volunteers and Inglewood neighbors.

"Our Season of Giving charity project was an overwhelming success. Not only did the sponsors keep their promises with manpower and unexpected product donations, it turned into a total “pay it forward” event when the neighbors pitched in their personal finances and resources to provide housekeeping services, carpeting and a new roof for the McGhee’s”, says Field Supervisor Owen Redway of LRS Plumbing.

During the press conference sponsors HP Paint Services, True Restoration, J.A. Caddell Trucking, Quality Equipment Rentals, WATTS Coffee House, and 94.7 The WAVE were acknowledged for their outstanding support to the event.

ABOUT THE STENTORIANS

The STENTORIANS organization was founded in 1954, by African-American firefighters of the Los Angeles City and Los Angeles County Fire Departments. Their purpose and goals were to band together and address the discrimination and segregation challenges in the City's Fire Department. The name STENTORIANS, was selected for its appropriateness from the word Stentor, a Greek Herald described in the Iliad as having the voice of fifty men, extremely loud and powerful, audibly expressing a very forceful sound.
