💚 A FRESH START – TEMPORARY PROGRAM UPDATE 💚
I want to take a moment to explain how A Fresh Start operates and why our free cleaning services are temporarily on hold.
A Fresh Start is a community-supported free cleaning assistance program operated through my regular cleaning business, Positive Vibe Cleaning.
How are our free cleanings funded?
We rely on the generosity of the public through donations, community sponsorships, and contributions from people and businesses who believe in our mission.
Those donations and sponsorships help cover the cost of supplies, equipment, transportation, and the expenses involved in providing a FREE cleaning to someone in need.
We do not have a steady source of funding, and we are not currently a registered nonprofit organization.
There is an important difference:
A regular business, like ours, operates independently. We can offer charitable services and accept community support, but we do not automatically receive nonprofit benefits or qualify for nonprofit-only grants.
A registered nonprofit is a legally recognized organization with formal governance, reporting, and financial requirements. Certain eligible nonprofits can qualify for grants, charitable funding, and tax-deductible donations.
Right now, we are operating as a regular cleaning business with a community-funded assistance program. Donations and sponsorships are what make these free cleanings possible.
Why are cleanings on hold?
Until I can establish more consistent funding, I have to temporarily pause accepting free cleaning applications and scheduling cleanings. I don’t want to promise services when I don’t yet have the financial resources to fulfill them.
My vision for A Fresh Start has always been bigger than cleaning houses. I want to provide free cleanings to people experiencing hardship, help individuals and families get back on their feet, and connect them with additional community resources.
I want this program to be sustainable so we can help more people without constantly having to worry about where the funding for the next cleaning will come from.
💚 A Fresh Start is not closing. We are simply taking a step back to figure out how to move forward.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, sponsored, shared our mission, or supported what we’re trying to accomplish.
Sometimes making a difference means knowing when to pause, regroup, and build a stronger foundation.
Our mission remains the same: A cleaner home, a fresh start, and a helping hand when someone needs it most.
