Bliss Car Wash Collecting New Socks for the Los Angeles Mission
Vahid David Delrahim enlists all eight Bliss Car Wash Southern California locations in charity drive
Bliss Car Wash employees participated in the adopt-a-meal program at The Los Angeles Mission last week
All eight Bliss Car Wash locations are collecting new socks to donate to the Los Angeles Mission this winter. At each of the eco-friendly sites, a collection box is on display for customers to drop off new socks, which will then be given to the Mission to distribute to its patrons.
“Our employees and customers enjoy giving back to their communities, and a sock drive is an efficient way for everyone to contribute,” said company’s founder and CEO, Vahid David Delrahim. “New, warm socks are the most requested items by people who use shelter facilities, and we’re happy to use our locations as a way to gather as many donations as possible.”

Delrahim said that he was concerned about the decrease in charitable giving because of the pandemic and encouraged his associates, friends and family members to help out. He added that a team of his employees from Bliss participated in the adopt-a-meal program at The Los Angeles Mission last week. The company donated the funds for lunch and dinner and helped to prepare and serve a midday meal.
“We are always pleased to provide our resources and our time where we can,” Delrahim said. “At this time of year, it’s particularly meaningful to share with those who are not as fortunate as we are.”
As the owner of eight Bliss locations, Delrahim donates one freshwater well to a needy village in Africa each time the company opens a new car wash. Delrahim and the Bliss team are working with the Wells Bring Hope nonprofit organization because of its mission to provide safe water to rural villages in Niger, West Africa.
