SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — April 16, 2026 — Evive Brands is launching its “Hands in Action” campaign in recognition of National Volunteer Month, spotlighting the meaningful ways franchise owners across its portfolio give back to the communities they serve.

The nationwide initiative showcases volunteerism and community service efforts from franchisees representing brands Assisted Living Locators, Executive Home Care, Grasons, Maid Brigade, The Brothers That Just Do Gutters, Shine and Pacific Lawn Sprinklers. The campaign aims to amplify the real-world impact of local business owners.
