FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NONPROFIT EMBODIES THE ESSENCE OF GOOD NEIGHBORS

Lewisville, TX – September 22, 2023 – Cleaning for a Reason, a nonprofit organization, embodies the spirit of being a good neighbor. They collaborate with 1,200 cleaning companies across the United States and Canada to provide free house cleanings to local cancer patients.

In Lewisville, their dedicated staff and volunteers came together for a yard sale on Saturday, September 16, raising a successful $1,700 in funds. Such heartwarming initiatives are happening nationwide among the nonprofit’s supporters, offering crucial support to cancer patients in their quest for a clean and comfortable home environment. The day’s highlight was the moving encounter with Laura Dawson, a cancer patient who has greatly benefited from Cleaning for a Reason’s program.

Dawson expressed her gratitude, saying, “A friend arranged everything for me, and I’m forever grateful for the support I received.”

Lucy Lee, Operations Manager at Cleaning for a Reason, sees garage/yard sales as a meaningful way to raise funds while promoting decluttering—an act of ‘cleaning’ in its own right. These sales also spread awareness in communities about Cleaning for a Reason’s mission and engage them in supporting the cause. Involving family, friends, and clients by encouraging them to bring and donate items can boost turnout and funds raised.

Lee shared, “Decluttering, organizing, and cleaning may seem separate, but they complement each other. When you combine these activities with a meaningful cause, you inspire one neighbor to support another, nurturing a deep sense of unity and community support. Many thanks to those who generously donated items and/or shopped with enthusiasm, all the while supporting our mission to make a difference for cancer patients through the gift of a clean home.”
