In a time when more businesses are seeking meaningful ways to give back, some stand out for how naturally generosity flows from their culture. One such company is Junk King Cincinnati, a leader in eco-friendly junk removal and a standout example of how businesses can turn compassion into action through CarePortal. From the top down, Junk King’s partnership with CarePortal is a blueprint for corporate social responsibility done right.

Businesses + CarePortal = Real-Time Impact

CarePortal connects child welfare professionals with local organizations — like businesses, churches, and individuals — who want to help. Needs are posted in real-time and can be anything from a bed for a child to emergency groceries for a family in crisis. When businesses sign up, they gain access to these opportunities, empowering their teams to meet tangible needs right in their own neighborhoods.

By integrating CarePortal into company culture, businesses create:

• Employee Opportunities: Direct ways to serve, both individually and together as a team.
  
• Community Connection: A personal stake in the local challenges families face and the joy of helping to solve them.
  
• Values-Driven Brand Loyalty: Teams and customers alike gravitate toward companies that live out generosity and compassion.
  

Whether it’s incorporating CarePortal into team meetings or turning giving into a shared experience, there’s flexibility in how businesses get involved. Learn more about how your business can meet needs with CarePortal.

Junk King’s Culture of Giving

Jack Brendamour, CEO and Co-owner of Junk King in Cincinnati, remembers the first time he encountered CarePortal: “It was divine intervention. A mutual connection who saw the good we were doing in the community also knew about the work CarePortal was doing. It just made sense.”

Since then, the partnership has blossomed.

“Right when you walk into our office, you see a nonprofit showcase featuring over 50 logos — CarePortal is one of them,” Jack says. “When they reach out with a need that’s been difficult to fulfill, we prioritize it. We spend extra money and make the extra effort because we believe good people will support businesses that do good.”

And his team notices. When CarePortal teams show up with six or seven cars in the morning, praying together and filling trunks with donations, it makes a lasting impression. “That morning stuck with our team,” Jack recalls. “It was one of those ‘this is why we do this’ moments.”

Employees are drawn to Junk King’s community-first culture. Jack shared a moment where a customer asked an employee if they liked their job. “They said, ‘We love our job because we give back, we donate, and we recycle everything we can.’” For Jack, that’s the kind of response that defines true employee engagement and morale.

Why It Works

At Junk King, giving back isn’t a box to check — it’s who they are. CarePortal fits seamlessly into that identity, offering real-time, flexible ways to act on compassion.

“We’ll keep doing whatever we can to meet the needs CarePortal sends our way,” Jack says. “We’re all ears for any opportunities to grow this partnership. Because that’s what it’s all about, giving back to our local community.”

His message to other businesses?

“Nobody should be managing a business that isn’t actively trying to build their team around doing good. It builds morale, self-fulfillment, and yes, it’s great for marketing too. Great causes naturally want to support your business.”

And when asked to describe CarePortal in just three words?

“Doing God’s work.”
