Why Businesses Should Donate to Charity | Clean Sweep Chimney Service

Not everyone has the time to lend a hand to the causes they are passionate about. This especially goes for small businesses that almost never have a moment of spare time. But lending a hand, or finding the means to donate to a charity is important for your business in so many ways.

I have had great success working with a few organizations close to us, and feel it’s so important to give to a cause annually. But first, it’s beneficial to understand some of the reasons that donating time and/or money to an organization is not only kind, but also a sound investment for the community and your company itself.

A few reasons why I believe that businesses should donate time and/or money to charity:

Volunteering can set an excellent example for employees, customers and the community at large. I believe it is important to give back in the area in which we all live and work as it strengthens community. Giving back is built into our company values and it raised the overall morale for the team, knowing we make a difference in ways both big and small.
Companies can choose not only to donate money, but also time and expertise. When we volunteer as a group it creates non-working bonding time for our employees and many times acts as a great team building exercise.
It creates a networking opportunity. You never know who you are going to meet in your community! By connecting with an organization through donation or spending time at a local charity, you instantly increase your local connections with other people who live and work in your community.
It is fulfilling to give back and help an important cause. You can get wrapped up in your own business and small world so quickly! It does wonders to think outside your company and give back. At the end of the day it feels good to know you made a difference.

Of course there is also the PR benefits to donating your energies to the charities, but I find the service to others offer a greater reward to my business. It also helps me to put the trials and tribulations of running a business into perspective. These are some of the practices and ideals that I have built into my company, Clean Sweep Chimney Service. I believe in giving back to the community and I would like to help others give back as well. Make it a resolution this year to pick a charity of choice and get involved in giving back!

I'm not sure why you would trust anyone else with something as important as keeping your chimney safe and clean. Victor Imgarten provided the best service. He was on time, communicated perfectly, was neat and kept everything clean and in an orderly matter. I have used his services in the past and have always been extremely impressed with pricing and communication and quality of service.

I’m very thankful for Vic and Scott. They came out to quote a chimney repair job for me and my husband. When they arrived at our home, they saw me trying to replace a flat tire. They kindly offered to help me get the spare on. Plus, I got to prank my husband and say I changed it all on my own. Thanks again, Vic and Scott!

Destiny Houghton

Prompt and helpful service. We were very happy with how quickly they came out to adjust our chimney cap.

Victor does a great job. He cleaned inside and outside thoroughly. He also makes and sells honey! He's been at our home twice and perfect work both times.

Allyson Burgess

Great work, great price. Thank you. See you next year.

Patricia Perry

Excellent service. Excellent value. Fireplace was put in excellent condition. Was left in a very clean condition. Victor is a highly professional operator.

Great company. I talked to several companies before choosing Clean Sweep. Victor is among the most knowledgeable people in the industry and offered the best solution. The work was for the living room fireplace but he gave me guidance on the basement level as well and recommended a solution which he doesn't offer. Talk about integrity! Joyce in the office was great about keeping me informed as the crew navigated rain and cold weather days. The crew was neat, friendly and did a great job. I can tell the difference in quality looking at my chimney vs. work neighbors had done by others. I would hire them again without hesitation.
