How To Give Back To Your Community

March 5, 2025

At The Cleaning Authority, we believe that running a successful business goes beyond providing exceptional cleaning services—it’s also about making a meaningful impact in the communities we serve. That’s why we created The Cleaning Authority CARES, a program designed to give back through hunger relief efforts and education support.

Since its launch in 2016, The Cleaning Authority CARES has enabled franchise owners, employees, and customers to come together to fight hunger and support education initiatives. Through this program, our franchisees don’t just run a business—they become local leaders making a difference.

Fighting Hunger: Over 1 Million Pounds of Food Collected

Food insecurity is a serious issue affecting families across the country, and The Cleaning Authority CARES is committed to helping those in need. Through this initiative, our franchise owners actively participate in food drives, collections, and local partnerships to ensure that struggling families have access to nutritious meals.

🚀 Impact So Far:
✅ Since 2016, The Cleaning Authority CARES has collected over 1,000,000 pounds of food for local food banks and charities.
✅ Franchise owners work directly with food pantries, shelters, and community programs to distribute food where it’s needed most.
✅ Customers are encouraged to participate by donating non-perishable food items, making it a true community-driven effort.

By leveraging our national network of franchises, we have been able to turn small actions into a massive impact, ensuring that families in need have one less worry on their plate.

Supporting Education: Scholarships for Employees and Their Families

Education is a powerful tool that opens doors to better opportunities, financial stability, and personal growth. At The Cleaning Authority, we recognize the dedication and hard work of our franchisees’ employees, and we want to support their futures.

Through The Cleaning Authority CARES, we have awarded multiple $1,000 scholarships to employees or their dependents to help further their education. These scholarships can be used for college tuition, vocational training, or other educational pursuits, giving employees and their families access to brighter futures.

Why This Matters:
✅ Helps employees and their families reduce financial barriers to education.
✅ Encourages career growth and professional development.
✅ Strengthens employee recruitment and retention, as franchise owners can offer real, life-changing benefits.

By investing in education, The Cleaning Authority not only empowers individuals but also strengthens the workforce—helping employees gain valuable skills and secure long-term career success.

How Franchise Owners and Customers Can Get Involved

One of the unique aspects of The Cleaning Authority CARES is that everyone can play a role in making a difference—whether you’re a franchise owner, employee, or customer.

🔹 Franchise Owners: Owners can host food drives, support local education initiatives, and engage with their communities to strengthen their local impact.
🔹 Employees: Team members can apply for scholarships, volunteer at community events, and contribute to local charity efforts.
🔹 Customers: Homeowners can participate by donating food items through The Cleaning Authority’s collection efforts.

Become a Franchise Owner

Invest in yourself and build a rewarding business.
"In my previous life when I was consulting I didn't have near the flexibility of my schedule that I have now. Now after growing the cleaning authority at the point where it is, I coach soccer. We do two practices a week for my girls team. I do one practice a week for my boys team. I can go to any school event that I want to. I can take time to go with teachers. I exercise most every day. I work hard but I can come and go on my own schedule. I no longer have to worry about paying for my children's education and we live a comfortable life and it's fun."

"As a female franchise owner, I've learned that success knows no gender. It's about determination, resilience, and the willingness to learn and adapt."
