Well, they say, " "A clean space leads to a clear mind," - At Kay's Cleaning Services, this philosophy extends beyond their clients' homes and offices. We believe that giving back to the community is what really drives us. Not only are we a black-owned and women-operated cleaning company, but we’re also passionate about making a difference in the areas we call home.
Volunteering, donations, and partnerships with local nonprofits allow us to make an impact beyond spotless homes and offices. We strive to be strong community partners and catalyze positive change in Madison and surrounding areas.
Our Philosophy on Community Service
Our company philosophy centers around four core values: ethics such as integrity, businesses like approach, concern for people and cost to the clients. Ideally, these values will guide our capacity to continue with excellent service delivery to the community.
It is a part of the Mission accomplished through outreach programs and building these connections with the organizations within the community. We stand emotionally convinced that every action that businesses take to give back has the capability to change people’s lives and make the community even better.
Below are some of the ways we give back:
Donating Our Time and Resources
We donate our professional cleaning services to selected charitable organizations and community centers. Pledging our deep cleans, maintenance cleaning, and disinfection services, we support these organizations in ensuring safe environments for the sought-after vulnerable groups.
We also donate supplies like cleaning products, gloves, masks, and gear to shelters and nonprofits helping disadvantaged community members.
Volunteering with Local Initiatives
Our team loves rolling up our sleeves and volunteering for great causes together. We assist with local food drives, soup kitchens, community cleanups, builds with Habitat for Humanity, and more.
Some of our favorite volunteer initiatives include:
Bikes for Tykes
We help rebuild used bikes to donate to children without transportation. Seeing kids’ faces light up when receiving a “new-to-them” bike is so heartwarming.
River Cleanups
We join river associations to collect litter from waterways and riverbanks. Preserving our beautiful natural habitats is deeply important to us.
Food Pantries
We participate in food drives, and tutor the individuals who are hungry, helping to sort food and get it on the shelves at food pantries. We are very passionate about providing food to our community.
Fundraising Walk/Runs
We participate as a corporate team in various walk/run fundraisers benefitting great causes like breast cancer research, homelessness prevention, youth mentoring programs, and more.
We also spread the word about important fundraisers so our staff, clients, and community can join and lend their support.
Our participation in organizations makes an impact while bringing our community together.
Spotlight: Bikes for Kids Initiative
One outreach program particularly close to our hearts is Bikes for Kids Madison. This amazing local nonprofit collects used bicycles and helmets to rebuild and donate to children in need. For families who can’t afford transportation, a bike can make all the difference in kids’ lives. We began supporting Bikes for Kids from the last few years with monetary and supply donations. We expanded our support by having staff members volunteer regularly.
How Our Volunteers Help
On Saturdays, our volunteers join the Bikes for Kids workshop to help refurbish used bikes. Tasks involve:
Taking apart donated bikes
Assessing which parts can be salvaged
Repairing and replacing damaged parts
Cleaning gear and brake components
Reassembling bikes with quality parts
Adjusting seats, handlebars, and tire pressure for safety
Testing rebuilt bikes for road readiness
We also help collect used bikes when needed. Our branded van and cleaning gear come in handy during big picking and drop-offs!
Impact So Far
Over the past two years, our volunteers have helped rebuild over 200 kids’ bikes and tricycles to donate through Bikes for Kids Madison.
Knowing that hundreds of local kids now have reliable and safe transportation brings us so much joy. The ability to ride a bike unlocks freedom, friendships, and essential access to schools, parks, and opportunities.
We plan to continue volunteering regularly while finding new ways to support this impactful nonprofit.
Why We Give Back
Giving back is baked into our business model and company culture. We at Kay's Cleaning Services not only provide a helpful service but also actively support and enrich our community.
For our team, volunteerism provides an opportunity to work together while making a real difference locally. We have talented, big-hearted people who want to donate their expertise and effort toward great causes.
Plus, giving back fuels our passion for excellence in our cleaning services! Supporting those in need motivates us to be the best home cleaners, office cleaners, senior caretakers, and partners to clients from all walks of life.
When community members come together, we make positive change happen. If local businesses can support impactful work while growing ethically and sustainably, our whole community benefits.
We strive to operate responsibly across all areas - serving customers, compensating employees, supporting partners equitably, minimizing environmental impact, and giving back.
