LOCAL CLEANING COMPANY MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Bellingham, WA – January 7, 2026 – Cleaning With Care, a family-owned residential cleaning company based in Bellingham, Washington, is proud to announce its partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, a nonprofit organization that provides free professional house cleaning to individuals undergoing cancer treatment, surgery, or hospice care. Cleaning for a Reason works with trusted residential cleaning companies across the United States and Canada to ease the burden of home maintenance during some of life’s most challenging moments.
Shared owner Michele Hurley, “At Cleaning With Care, service to our community is not an initiative—it’s a responsibility. Partnering with Cleaning for a Reason allows us to stand alongside families facing cancer and offer something deeply practical yet profoundly meaningful: the relief and dignity of a clean home during an incredibly challenging time. Together with this nonprofit, we are making a tangible difference, one home at a time.”
Through this partnership, Cleaning With Care will donate professional home cleanings to two cancer patients each month, with each patient receiving services for two consecutive months. This ongoing support is available to cancer patients residing in Whatcom County.

“Community involvement and giving back are core values of our business,” said Kaitlyn Hurley, Office Manager. “We were introduced to Cleaning for a Reason through a one-day volunteer event hosted by our local cleaning product distributor, Bay City Supply. That experience inspired us to become official partners with the nonprofit. Since joining, we’ve been deeply moved by the gratitude expressed by the cancer patients we’ve served, and our team has shared overwhelmingly positive feedback about the meaningful impact of this work.” |
Cancer patients of any age, gender, or diagnosis may apply for services at cleaningforareason.org.
