How charity car washes work
A team, school or nonprofit borrows a parking lot for a morning, sets out buckets and signs, and washes cars for a set price or a donation. The money goes straight to their cause — uniforms, trips, medical bills, animal rescue, you name it.
Most run on a Saturday between 9 AM and 3 PM, and many are cash-only, so bring a few bills. A $10–$20 donation is typical; tipping extra is always appreciated.
Hosting one?
Listing is free and takes about a minute — no account needed. Drivers searching for a car wash near them will see your pin on the map.
