Nationwide efforts of Tommy’s Express serving communities

July 3, 2023 Tommy's Express Serving Communities

One of our main goals as a company is to serve communities.  

Around the country, Tommy’s Express team members serve at the window, inside the wash tunnel, and outside in the vacuum bays as they help guests.

Collectively and in cities around the country, Tommy’s Express franchise owners and operators partner with local organizations to give back.

Local impact of Tommy’s Express locations

The following are just a few (of many) examples of various locations and their heart for giving.

This is not required by the Tommy’s Express franchise or corporate headquarters. It’s just part of who we are. 

  • Tommy’s Express in Mounds View, MN helps Rise Inc. “Rise unlocks potential and opens doors to success for people with disabilities or other challenges through creative solutions and customized support.”   
  • Tommy’s Express of Spring Hill, FL donated $1 donated for every car washed between 10-2 on February 18, 2023 to the Springstead High School Soccer Team ($1,182), and did the same for the Strike City Youth Bowling Team ($916) on March 25, 2023.  
      
  • Tommy’s Express of Orland Park, IL hosted a guest appreciation event and toy drive, raising $2,000 for the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation, supporting children with cancer.
  • Tommy’s Express of Richmond, VA supports the Humane Society. Gotta love helping out the dogs and cats!  
      
  • Tommy’s Express of Lansing, MI supports a different nonprofit every month. In May of 2023, it’s Head Start, supporting young children in school and beyond.

Central to our core values: giving back 

Every year, Tommy’s Express offers free washes to active and retired military on Veterans Day.   In 2021, we washed 3,766 cars for free, and in 2022: 5,661 cars.

With every single wash at Tommy’s Express, we donate to Water Mission, a clean water charity that builds safe water, sanitation, and hygiene solutions in developing countries and disaster areas. To date, Water Mission has served more than 7 million people in 57 countries.  

While we are many locations across the country, we are one when we join together to serve others. This Fourth of July (and all year long), it’s a great reminder of the unity of our purpose.

If you’re a team, group, charity, or nonprofit organization, check with your local Tommy’s Express for fundraising opportunities in your area. We’d love to partner with you!
