Monetary donations are accepted and may be made payable to “St. Patricia HNS.” Items may also be dropped off at the HAYS Cleaning office during normal business hours.
All supporters will be listed on the “Helping Our Heroes” website, sponsored by HAYS Cleaning, at www.helping-our-heroes.com.
We admit it, we goofed!
With the launch of the “Above & Beyond Award,” it was our intention to honor a local veteran with 15 hours of free housecleaning.
When the program was planned, we thought it was a great idea to have Veterans nominate a local Veteran to receive this award. After a short time, we realized that we had unwittingly limited the participation for this project and we opened up the nominating process to anyone who wished to recognize a needful Veteran.
Even though we made that change, it was a little bit too late and we ended up receiving no nominations. Not one at all.
We realize now that this was an error on our part. We will try this program again some time in the new year. In the meantime, thank you to all of our friends, family and fans who shared this information with others.
Sincerely,
Art and Mary James

Happy Thanksgiving to all! As you prepare to celebrate this holiday with family and friends, take a few moments to nominate a local Veteran to receive the “Above and Beyond Award,” presented by HAYS Cleaning. Our Veterans gave all, this is a way to say “Thank You” to a needful Veteran: 15 hours of FREE cleaning services!
Nominations are accepted through Monday, December 2, 2013. Get the details here: http://www.helping-our-heroes.com/2013/11/for-local-veterans-above-beyond-award/.

Since 2010, HAYS Cleaning, Inc. has provided 3-hour complimentary housecleanings for local Veterans, active Military and their spouses and parents. The service is offered for Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
The current promotion, in honor of Memorial Day, has been extended through June 30, 2013. Simply call 708-598-3819 or email mary@hayscleaning.com to schedule the cleaning.
Through a partnership with the St. Patricia Holy Name Society, in Hickory Hills, Illinois, the company is also collecting care pack items to ship to the troops overseas.
We have been looking for suggestions to rename the Helping Our Heroes Program for the past few weeks. We recently placed this print ad in the Village View Newspaper to help gather more suggestions.
Art and Mary James, owners of HAYS Cleaning, based in Hickory Hills, started the “Helping Our Heroes” program, in May 2010. The original goal of the program was to provide a 3-hour complimentary house cleaning to US Veterans, active Military and their spouses.
The website, www.helping-our-heroes.com, was launched in October 2011. With the Veterans Day 2011 promotion, collection of care package items was added to the program.
In 2012, they partnered with the St. Patricia Holy Name Society, for the collection and shipment of care package items. The HNS has an affiliation with Jim Kruse and Adopt-A-Platoon. Jim is in charge of the organization, based in Hickory Hills. They collect and ship packages monthly to the troops overseas. HAYS and Helping Our Heroes will continue this partnership.
The name was chosen as a compliment to Veterans and active Military. Along this journey, it has been pointed out that many Veterans and active Military do not like the word hero nor any reference to being a hero. They are SOLDIERS and that is how they prefer to be recognized.
Art and Mary want to rename the program, with the word “Soldiers” or “Military” in the name and they would like help from the community to choose the new name. Through Friday, April 12, 2013, they are asking readers to share their ideas for a name change. Submit suggestions via email (mary@hayscleaning.com), on Facebook (www.facebook.com/hayscleaning) or on the “Heroes” website (www.helping-our-heroes.com). Once they have a selection of suggestions, they will create a poll to choose the new name.

Healthy Minds Healthy Bodies is a program offered to veterans. Currently, the program has groups Illinois, Indiana and Maryland, with plans to expand nationwide.
This past Wednesday, I had the privilege of visiting members of the group at the Oak View Center, part of the Oak Lawn Park District, in Oak Lawn Illinois. My original purpose was to share the news about the free 3-hour housecleaning offered by HAYS Cleaning. I ended up visiting with a great group of veterans, sharing a snack and playing a trivia game. I also learned about this great program, offered for free to our local Veterans.
The Oak Lawn group has several activities and outings scheduled that may be of interest to area veterans and their families:
