Express Wash Concepts Drives Community Growth with EWC Cares Grants
In a remarkable demonstration of community involvement, Express Wash Concepts (EWC), the parent company of renowned car wash brands such as Moo Moo Express Car Wash and Flying Ace Express Car Wash, recently announced the distribution of over $280,000 in grants through its EWC Cares initiative. This substantial amount has been awarded to 40 nonprofit organizations that play a crucial role in various facets of community support and development.
The recent fundraising efforts saw EWC successfully raising an impressive total of $692,927.54 in the past year alone, highlighting the growing impact EWC has on its communities and the tremendous support from customers and partners. John Roush, the founder and CEO of Express Wash Concepts, emphasized, "Every dollar raised through EWC Cares represents people helping people, and this past year alone we increased our giving by an incredible 64%." With this initiative, EWC aims to uplift and support organizations dedicated to youth development, animal welfare, community sports, food security, veteran services, education, and social support programs.

- - Power of Clean Partner ($25,000+)
- - Community Clean Champion ($10,000+)

This tiered recognition not only emphasizes the importance of these organizations but also encourages others to engage in community service and support.
Growing Community Engagement through Innovative Funding

The EWC Cares program has proved integral in allowing Express Wash Concepts to give back while simultaneously boosting their service offerings to customers.
In addition to grant awards, EWC actively supports local community organizations through individual sponsorships and fulfilling donation requests from various community efforts. This multi-faceted approach to philanthropy underlines EWC’s commitment to cultivating long-lasting relationships with local nonprofits and enhancing community wellbeing across its service areas.
