Giving Back: Burleson Plumbing & Heating's 2024 Charity Donations

At Burleson Plumbing & Heating, one of our core values is "Family Business"—a commitment to not only serving our customers but also to making a positive impact in our community. Embedded in this value is the principle to "Think of others more than yourself." This year, we wanted to embrace that spirit by empowering our team to give back in a meaningful way.

For 2024, we asked each of our employees to choose a charity close to their heart, and we committed to donating $300 in their name to that organization. These contributions reflect the diverse passions of our team and the incredible work being done by local and regional nonprofits.

Here’s how our donations made an impact this year:
