LOCAL COMPANY MAKING A DIFFERENCE SINCE 2018
Salem, OR – January 21, 2022 – Serenity Cleaning Services, LLC remains committed to helping cancer patients through their partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, a nonprofit providing free home cleanings to households battling cancer.

“Quite a few years back, I had an employee whose mom was battling breast cancer for the third time and feeling very depressed over her inability to keep up her home,” said Brenda Oleman, owner and founder of Serenity Cleaning Services. “Myself and several other employees spent an afternoon cleaning for her… what a sparkle it brought to her eyes… you could see her whole spirit brighten; and oh, how that blessed us as well! She eventually lost her battle, but I have never forgotten how blessed we all were in doing what seemed like such a small and simple thing to us.”
“When I read about Cleaning for a Reason years later, that whole experience came flooding back and I knew immediately that this was something I wanted Serenity Cleaning Services to do as just one way of giving back.”
In partnership with Cleaning for a Reason, Serenity Cleaning Services supports cancer patients in Salem by cleaning up to five homes per month for two consecutive months at no charge. Serenity Cleaning Services is the only company in Marion/Polk County that partners with Cleaning for a Reason.
Said Oleman, “I feel it a privilege to be trusted in peoples’ homes and private spaces. I also feel honored and obligated to provide meaningful jobs and joyful workplaces to my staff. I also believe that to whom much is given, much is required. We have been blessed and want to bless others. We feel honored to serve cancer patients and their families in their hour of need.”
