In a delightful fusion of seasonal indulgence and charitable giving, ScrubaDub, a New England car wash chain, is offering a pumpkin spice-scented car wash experience to benefit Community Servings, a Boston-based provider of tailored meals for those facing chronic illness or food insecurity. This innovative partnership not only brings the aroma of autumn to drivers' commutes but also supports a worthy cause, demonstrating the power of businesses to make a meaningful impact on their local communities.
Pumpkin Spice Scents and Shiny Cars for a Cause
ScrubaDub, a car wash chain with a rich history dating back to 1966, has found a unique way to celebrate the fall season while giving back to the community. Through November 30th, customers can enjoy an "ultra shine" car wash with a pumpkin spice add-on at any of ScrubaDub's 14 Massachusetts locations, including the Quincy facility on Coddington Street. This special offering not only provides a delightful olfactory experience but also supports the vital work of Community Servings, a nonprofit organization that delivers nutritious, medically tailored meals to individuals and families facing chronic illnesses or food insecurity.A Decade-Long Partnership Rooted in Compassion
The partnership between ScrubaDub and Community Servings began over 20 years ago when ScrubaDub CEO Bob Paisner, son of the company's founder, started an annual campaign to purchase pies from Community Servings' Pie in the Sky program for his employees. This initial gesture of goodwill soon blossomed into a more comprehensive effort, as Paisner sought to expand ScrubaDub's support for the organization. The $5 pumpkin spice car wash add-on and the formation of a dedicated ScrubaDub team to purchase Pie in the Sky pies are just two examples of the company's ongoing commitment to the cause.Driving Meaningful Impact: ScrubaDub's Philanthropic Contributions
Through the combined efforts of pie sales, donations, and in-kind car wash services, ScrubaDub has made a significant impact on Community Servings over the years. The company has contributed more than $278,000 to the organization, which has translated to over 41,000 meals provided for clients, caregivers, and dependents. Additionally, ScrubaDub has donated more than $465,000 worth of car wash services to customers who support the cause. "They're a really phenomenal organization, and the work they do, especially in Greater Boston directly, is just amazing," remarked Alex Paisner, the grandson of ScrubaDub's founder and the company's current managing partner and director of people and culture.Pie in the Sky: A Delicious Way to Support Community Servings
In addition to the pumpkin spice car wash promotion, ScrubaDub is also encouraging customers to support Community Servings through the Pie in the Sky program. This annual fundraiser, now in its 32nd year, has grown to become what many refer to as the "world's greatest bake sale," with 150 Boston-area chefs, bakers, caterers, and restaurants donating pies. Each $35 pie purchase or "Pie for a Client" donation provides a week's worth of nutritious, medically tailored meals for a Community Servings client. Customers who purchase a pie through ScrubaDub's Pie in the Sky fundraiser also receive a free ScrubaDub Express Wash and a chance to win a year of unlimited car washes.Expanding the Reach: ScrubaDub's Footprint in Massachusetts
