We would like to you to meet “Valentine”. As some of you know, our single wash customers have been able to make a donation to the Marine Mammal Stranding Center through our XPT. Because of those donations, we have been able to “adopt” a grey harbor seal who was rescued, rehabilitated, and released. We are happy to announce that we can now accept donations to hopefully adopt another marine mammal by taking donations from ALL of our customers. If you are an unlimited member, detail customer, or just use our free vacuums and would like to donate ANY amount, please see any of our attendants in the main or car wash offices. For more on what the MMSC does, please visit their website at www.mmsc.org or follow them on Facebook or Instagram. Together we can all make a difference!
THANK YOU!
