Cleaning with a purpose!
Why Somos Cleaning Service is dedicated to empowering youth through sports!
Empowering Youth Through Sports
​
SOMOS Charity was founded in 2014 by Sam Bensley during his time at Rutgers Business School. After ten immersive trips to Nicaragua, Sam was moved by the warmth of the local people and the transformative power of sports in their culture. Recognizing a massive shortage of resources, he launched a campaign to collect athletic gear—a movement that quickly grew from a local initiative into a major international effort.
​
What began with a single shipment of 500 pounds of gear has evolved into a sustainable mission to bridge the "opportunity gap" for children in Central America.​
Our Mission & Impact
​
SOMOS Charity believes that every child deserves the chance to play. Sports are more than just games; they are a vehicle for physical health, teamwork, and life skills.
​
-
Equipment Distribution: We ship thousands of pounds of gear—soccer balls, baseball equipment, and jerseys—to revitalize local athletic leagues.
-
Community Service Credit System: Through our "supply bank," local teams and schools earn equipment by completing community service projects, such as cleaning parks or assisting local charities. This model fosters a deep sense of pride and civic responsibility.
My business, SOMOS Cleaning Service, was proudly named after this charity to honor its spirit of community, hard work, and empowerment. Just as the charity works to "clean up" and revitalize neighborhoods through its credit system, we bring that same dedication to the homes and businesses we serve.
We are committed to the cause:To ensure this mission continues to grow, 10% of all profits from SOMOS Cleaning Service go directly to SOMOS. When you choose our cleaning services, you aren’t just getting a spotless space—you are helping provide soccer balls, baseball bats, and community programs for children who need them most.
