Manassas Park Car Wash Donates 80 Coats to Needy

Speedy Green Car Wash donated 80 coats, as well as some scarves, gloves and hats to a local nonprofit agency that serves needy families, as part of its January coat drive, according to a press release.

 Speedy Green patrons received a free car wash for each lightly-used coat  donated to Securing Emergency Resources through Volunteer Efforts, or SERVE, a Manassas-based community organization that serves roughly 1,000 families a month.

 SERVE provides shelter, food distribution centers, transitional housing, emergency assistance and life skills education for families in need.

 The brutally cold January temperatures are what inspired Speedy Green owner Chip Ashton to take action and help others.

 “… It’s cold outside. People need coats, simple as that,” Ashton said in an earlier report.

 The coats are donated to people who are on the brink of homelessness.

 Speedy Green Car Wash, located at Centreville Road and Manassas Drive in Manassas Park is known for its cutting-edge car wash technology as well as their commitment to protecting the environment, according to a press release.  

One hundred percent of all car wash water is recycled and biodegradable chemicals are used, placing them among a handful of car washes nationwide. Speedy Green Car Wash uses Meguiar’s car care products in their detail center, featuring  Northern Virginia’s first motorcycle wash and the first do-it-yourself car detail center in the U.S.

 There is also a self-serve dog wash that offers flea and tick treatment, conditioner, hair dryers and water extractors.
