Partnering With Our Local Communities

The Cleaning Authority CARES has chosen to join the fight against hunger. Helping to provide food is a fundamental component of taking care of others, but it’s not something we can do alone. We are asking customers, like you, to help us with our efforts.

We will be targeting our efforts on campaigns throughout the year where we collect specific foods addressing a seasonal need. Along with making a difference by supplying local food banks, we will have a significant impact on spreading awareness to a need that exists in every market that we service.
