Ms. Molly Foundation Brings Awareness, Donations to Communities and Shelters Nationwide.

Ann Arbor, MI – During 2009, the Molly Maid system, customers and vendor partners donated a record $146,900 to support the Ms. Molly Foundation. These donations provide much-needed support to domestic violence shelters and safe houses, helping victims of the nation’s most under-reported crime.

The 2009 Ms. Molly Foundation fundraising total represents almost a 15 percent increase over last year’s sum. Since its inception in 1996, the Ms. Molly Foundation has raised more than $871,000 and has supported over 100 domestic violence shelters. When seeing a cause to support system-wide, Molly Maid franchise owners overwhelmingly chose to help raise awareness for domestic violence after noticing the prevalence of the crime among employees within their own franchises.
