Sunny and Highs in the 80s – Perfect Car-Washing Weather!

 

Wow – we couldn’t have asked for a better day yesterday! It was a sunny, hot day – making it perfect for Car Washing at Grounds for Health Carwasha good old-fashioned carwash! The cars kept rolling in– keeping our employees busy scrubbing and spraying and scooping (free Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream that is) all afternoon. No wonder this is my favorite day of the year!

Although the carwash was busy, car detailing really pulled in the traffic! The detail line was full for the whole 4 hours. With a suggested donation of $25 per car, we couldn’t be more thankful for Gigi’s Cleaning Company for donating their equipment and time to detail these cars.

 

Grounds for Health is still counting up the donations, but we know this year’s pull will continue to support their important work within coffee-growing communities!

Below are some photos with some highlights from the day.

Safety first! Stretching to stay limber during their volunteer shift!

We’re watching our emissions – the carwash was a  “No Idle Zone”

 For a brief moment, we had a “sprinkler” situation:

As always, one of the great highlights was a visit from Ben and Jerry themselves! (pictured with Grounds for Health Executive Director August Burns):

And of course – the entertainment! Love to listen to The Growlers while washing!
