2 FREE cleanings for women going through cancer treatment.
Touch of Europe is a partner of Cleaning for a Reason, the nonprofit that offers free cleaning to women battling cancer. When a woman is in treatment, a clean house is the last thing she has the strength for. Our team does it for her, twice, at no charge.
Cleaning for a Reason has served more than 40,000 patients and counts 1,200 companies in its work. Touch of Europe is one of them.

From Poland to Odana Road
Ava made it her mission to support other women.
Ava Palek came to the United States from Poland, raised two children as a single mother, and started cleaning houses to support them. Today the company employs many single mothers and gives them steady work. Partnering with Cleaning for a Reason follows from the same belief: women who have been through something hard should get a hand.
