Imperial Dade and MB’s Cleaning Services Unite for a Volunteer Day in Support of Cleaning for a Reason
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Minneapolis, MN – October 28, 2024 — Cleaning for a Reason, an ISSA Charities™ signature program dedicated to providing clean homes for cancer patients, is excited to announce a Volunteer Day collaboration with Imperial Dade and MB’s Cleaning Services on Tuesday, October 29, in Minneapolis.
This Volunteer Day exemplifies the spirit of charity, bringing together businesses and individuals to support those in need. On October 29, 23 volunteers from Imperial Dade, along with crew chiefs from MB’s Cleaning Services, will provide free home cleaning for 10 cancer patients in Minneapolis and the surrounding areas. This service not only creates a cleaner home but also fosters an environment that encourages healing. Contec Professional, a sponsor of Cleaning for a Reason, is generously donating the cleaning supplies used during this important initiative.
Barbara Grundman, Director of Marketing for Imperial Dade, expressed, “We are honored to support Cleaning for a Reason. This organization provides cancer patients with the invaluable gift of a clean, welcoming space, allowing them to focus on treatment and spend quality time with loved ones. Our team is proud to fundraise and volunteer, engaging support from companies like GOJO Industries, Georgia-Pacific, Spartan Chemical Company, Inc., and Sunburst Chemicals.”
Sandy Wolfrum, ISSA Charities Director of Development, noted, “Imperial Dade and MB’s Cleaning Services are transforming the experience for cancer patients. This initiative not only supports 10 patients directly but also highlights Cleaning for a Reason’s mission. The funds raised will help us reach even more patients and families across North America. We’re also grateful to Contec Professional for their in-kind donation of supplies for this special day.”
MaryBeth Stevens, owner of MB’s Cleaning Services, stated, “We’re proud to have our crew chiefs lead this important initiative. Providing clean, safe homes for cancer patients is central to our mission, and we are honored to make a positive impact on their lives.”
Volunteer Days demonstrate the power of community and the significant difference that dedicated individuals and companies can make when united for a common cause.
