Free House Cleaning for Cancer Patients
We've partnered with Cleaning for a Reason to provide free professional cleanings for Long Island families battling cancer. Because when you're fighting for your life, a clean home shouldn't be another worry.
Program Impact
Why This Partnership Matters
A cancer diagnosis changes everything. Between treatments, doctor's appointments, and the physical toll of the disease, everyday tasks like cleaning become overwhelming — if not impossible.
That's why Long Island Maids has partnered with Cleaning for a Reason, a national nonprofit that provides free home cleanings to cancer patients. We believe a clean, healthy home environment can provide comfort and relief during an incredibly difficult time.
Our commitment: We provide two free cleanings every month to cancer patients in our service area, including Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the Hamptons.
