Community Involvement

Commercial Power Sweep CPS Logo

One of the many things that has been modeled to Ken Lindsey by his parents from an early age is to “be thankful”, help others, get involved and to “give back”. These are definitely sentiments that are echoed by Ken and Commercial Power Sweep, Inc.

As an adult, Ken Lindsey first began his philanthropic passions back in 1997 by joining the Active 20-30 Club of Napa. After many years of community involvement and providing philanthropy for underprivileged children in the Napa Valley through the club, he is now a Past President and Past Active Life Member of the Active 20-30 Club of Napa.


Ken Lindsey Community Involvement in Zimbabwe, Africa

The passion of “giving back” continues with Ken. In 2011, Ken went on his first mission trip to Zimbabwe, Africa. The trip was with 8 others from the Hillside Christian Center and organized through Global Passions. The “team” helped in supplying clothing, school supplies and other incidentals to several orphanages throughout the area. Ken is now a regular financial supporter of Jabulani, an orphanage in Harare, Africa run by Alan and Dorothy Graham. The Graham “family” and Jabulani have become very dear to his heart.
