BLOG: Homeboy Industries hosts virtual car wash



Homeboy Industries, a nonprofit gang intervention program, is hosting a virtual car wash campaign to raise $10 million for the L.A.-based organization.

The concept behind the project came from the use of car washes to raise money in local neighborhoods.

“In our community, when tragedy strikes, when there is an unexpected financial need, people come together for a car wash,” the Homeboy Industries site said.

The organization is hoping to get 1 million people involved, asking participants to donate $10 to help fundraise for Homeboy Industries and their efforts to create jobs and a safe haven.

So far, the Web site that is hosting the virtual car wash has reported that 2,995 people have donated.

    That seems to be a good kind of car wash there. I hope that it won’t affect some parts that Car Parts Los Angeles would give in your car when you do that kind of car wash, virtual that is. Hope all is well in this one!
