CLEan Express Auto Wash donated $2,809.11 to the Streetsboro Community Pantry, to help further its mission of providing free food to Streetsboro families struggling to meet their daily needs. The donations were collected from CLEan Express Auto Wash customers at the company’s fifth Greater Cleveland-area Grand Opening held in May.

During the Grand Opening, CLEan Express Auto Wash offered a free signature “CLEan-est” car wash ($18 value) to every customer in exchange for a monetary donation to the Streetsboro Community Pantry. CLEan Express Auto Wash also offered discounted retail gift cards with all proceeds donated back to the Pantry. Throughout the Grand Opening period, CLEan Express Auto Wash gave away more than 2,087 free car washes at a retail value of more than $37,500.

“It is always extremely humbling when we have the opportunity to use our Grand Openings to give back to the local community,” said John Roush, Express Wash Concepts CEO. “We appreciate the generosity of our incredible Streetsboro customers, and know that the Pantry will put this money to great use to assist so many people and families facing food insecurity.”

As an all-volunteer agency, the Streetsboro Community Pantry services more than 1,000 families each year. The Pantry is affiliated with Streetsboro United Methodist Church, St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church, the Chapel at Tinker’s Creek and a partner of the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank.

CLEan Express Auto Wash has seven location currently open or under construction in the Greater Cleveland area: Cleveland, South Euclid, Middleburg Heights, Parma, Streetsboro and Solon. Express Wash Concepts plans to open additional locations in Eastlake, Elyria, Maple Heights and Strongsville by the end of 2021.
