ST. GEORGE — Dealing with cancer can be a grueling battle, leaving many patients too weak to perform basic chores like housecleaning.

That's where the volunteer program Cleaning for a Reason steps in to help. Volunteers from professional cleaning companies across the country — including St. George — are heeding the call and rolling up their sleeves to help families in need.

Helping local cancer patients

Kim Galvin of Better Home Cleaning in St. George wants her company to be more than just a cleaning service. She wants to lend a helping hand to cancer patients. Through Cleaning for a Reason, Galvin and her staff do free housecleaning for cancer patients, leaving them free to concentrate on their recovery.

"My cleaners really enjoy the volunteer experience they get," Galvin said. "Being in these homes and helping people has been a really good experience for us and for the people that we serve."
