Molly Maid and its 400-plus franchises across the nation announced a vigorous campaign to raise an unprecedented $150,000 for the Ms. Molly Foundation in 2008, representing a 50 percent increase over last year to continue supporting hundreds of local shelters and safe houses across America, as well as provide refuge and personal care items to victims of domestic violence.
Ms. Molly Foundation has raised more than $600,000 since its inception in 1996. With 100 percent franchisee participation expected in 2008, Molly Maid’s goal is to contribute to 120 domestic violence shelters throughout the nation.
“Molly Maid takes great pride in giving back to the communities we serve. For more than 10 years, our extraordinary franchisees have devoted their fundraising efforts to supporting the people and programs that help those who fall victim to one of America’s most tragic and unreported crimes,” said Molly Maid President Kristi Mailloux. “As we have cleaned 17 million households around the world, we’re ideally positioned for mass public education to not only help prevent domestic violence, but to provide support for its unfortunate victims.”
This year’s campaign will extend beyond the official designated National Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October, which is when Molly Maid franchises donate a portion of the service fee from every home cleaned to shelters and safe houses.
