At A1 Plumbing, Pumps & Water Treatment, we believe that being a local business means being an active part of the community we serve. Community is one of our core values, and we’re proud to support the people, organizations, and initiatives that make Quinte and the surrounding area a great place to live.
Throughout the year, our team gives back in many different ways, from financial donations and sponsorships to volunteering our time, supporting local charities, schools, youth sports, community events, and fundraising initiatives. We’re also proud to invest in the next generation through our apprenticeship opportunities, student scholarships, career presentations, and partnerships that help introduce young people to rewarding careers in the skilled trades.
The stories, photos, and videos below highlight just a few of the ways we’ve been fortunate to give back over the years. Whether we’re supporting a local family, celebrating a community organization, partnering with a charity, or lending a hand where it’s needed most, we’re grateful for every opportunity to make a positive impact.
Thank you to everyone who allows us to be part of this incredible community. We’re proud to call it home, and we’re committed to continuing to support it for years to come.

How It Works
- Monthly $500 Donation: We feature three local charities each month, giving them the chance to receive a $500 cash donation. In addition to the donation, the winners will also receive a 2-minute custom promotional video by Lavender Lane Media.
- No Non-Profit Requirement: We embrace inclusivity by not making it a requirement for participating groups or organizations to be non-profits. This opens the door for various community initiatives to benefit from the program.
- Community Engagement: Once the contenders are selected, they have the entire month to gather votes. We rely on the power of community engagement to determine the winner, promoting a sense of unity and shared purpose.
Why Participate
- Visibility and Recognition: The A1 in the Community Program provides a platform for local organizations to reach more people in the communities they serve. For the winner, it means a helpful financial boost, but all participants benefit from the opportunity to be recognized. We use our social networks to promote our participants, making sure that everyone we reach can learn about the great work these organizations do, and how they contribute to our community.
- Simple and Inclusive: Participating is easy, with no complex requirements. Individuals and groups only need to register once to vote, encouraging a seamless and inclusive participation process.
- Building Community Bonds: This initiative has helped us strengthen our bond with the community. As we witness the enthusiasm and support for each contender, it reinforces the spirit of togetherness.
