GIVING THANKS FOOD DRIVE
Roto-Rooter branches across the country participate in our annual Pet Rescues Giving Thanks Food Drive each November. Customers can donate 2 canned goods in return for 10% off any plumbing or drain service (up to $60 off) at participating locations. The canned goods can be human or pet food – we will make a donation to a local food bank as well as your neighborhood Humane Society or pet shelter.
