Bay City Supply and Wind Associates Team Up Again for 3rd Annual Volunteer Day in Support of Cleaning for a Reason
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Bellingham, WA– October 13, 2025 — Cleaning for a Reason, an ISSA Charities™ signature program providing clean homes for cancer patients, has announced its third annual Volunteer Day collaboration with Bay City Supply and Wind Associates. On Saturday, October 18, a team of 25 volunteers from both companies—guided by professional crew chiefs from Whatcom Janitorial and Cleaning With Care—will roll up their sleeves to clean the homes of eight cancer patients in Bellingham, Washington, at no cost to the patients.
This year’s Volunteer Day also aims to raise $5,000 to support Cleaning for a Reason’s ongoing efforts to serve cancer patients across North America.
“This Volunteer Day has become a highlight of our year,” said Franz Johnson, Sales Manager at Bay City Supply, a Walter E. Nelson company. “It’s incredibly meaningful to come together as an industry to give back to our community in such a hands-on way. Providing cancer patients with a clean and healthy home is a gift of relief and care—one that reminds us how powerful simple acts of service can be. We’re honored to continue supporting Cleaning for a Reason and the patients they serve.”
“The impact of this event reaches far beyond the homes cleaned,” said Lucy Lee, Program Manager at Cleaning for a Reason. “Bay City Supply, Wind Associates, Whatcom Janitorial, and Cleaning With Care demonstrate the heart of our mission—uniting the cleaning industry to give back where it matters most. Their teamwork, compassion, and commitment are helping to shine a light on what it means to truly care for those in need.”
