The Cleaning Authority of Fairfax collected 224 bags of canned food totaling 994 pounds for the Food for Others food bank over the summer as part of a national initiative, The Cleaning Authority CARES.
The Fairfax location, led by franchisee Terry Wallace, ranked third nationally out of hundreds of participating locations for number of bags collected.
The Cleaning Authority CARES campaign was launched by the brand earlier in 2016 and was developed to help millions of food insecure households throughout the United States. It is designed to engage each of the brand’s franchisees nationwide.
Through the program, a brown paper bag was left in the home of each client with information about the campaign and a request to be filled between cleaning visits. The cleaners then collected donations from homes and returned them to the office. After several weeks, the location owners donated the food to partnering organizations.
Founded in 1989, The Cleaning Authority has been franchising for almost 20 years and has more than 200 locations in the United States and Canada. Completing more than 1.7 million cleans last year, the company is responsible for the proprietary “Detail-Clean Rotation System” designed to guarantee a thorough clean. The Cleaning Authority is an environmentally responsible residential cleaning franchise committed to using Green-Seal Certified® cleaning products.
