Hoffman Car Wash is once again inviting the community to help fight hunger during its 14th annual Spring Food Drive. On Saturday, May 17, and Sunday, May 18, customers who donate a non-perishable food item at any Exterior or Full Service location will receive a free Ultimate Car Wash as a thank you for their support.
For more than a decade, Hoffman Car Wash has partnered with local food pantries to fight food insecurity in the communities it serves. This year, donations will support 21 regional food pantries across upstate New York and southern Vermont to provide much-needed supplies to families and individuals who are facing hunger.
