1st Annual FoodRaiser a SUPER Success!

For the entire month of May, select Super Wash® car washes, hosted a Food-Raiser to raise money for local food pantries. I am very thrilled to report we collectively raised $52,460 with an average donation of $325.00 made to each participating food pantry! There were 162 participating facilities contributing to that $52,460 donation. All of the money raised will stay in the local community to benefit local families.

On their website, www.feedingamerica.org, Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, states, “For every $1.00 donated Feeding America can provide 7 meals to men, women and children facing hunger in our country.” This means that the $52,000 Super Wash donation will provide 364,000 meals to hungry families in the local communities we serve. If you are so inclined, please consider making a donation to Feeding America, or your local food pantry, to help those in need during these challenging times.

A big THANK YOU to all who helped make our first FoodRaiser a SUPER success!! It is our intention to make this an annual event. As Mary (my mom and co-founder of Super Wash) says, “A clean car does a body good!”

Until Next Time, Be Super!!
