The carwash donated 100 percent of wash sales for a total of $6,396 to Empowerhouse, stated the release.

Empowerhouse, a nonprofit organization, provides confidential domestic violence assistance in Fredericksburg and throughout the counties of Caroline, George, King, Spotsylvania and Stafford, reported the release.

The nonprofit’s services include a free and confidential 24-hour hotline, referrals, information, temporary emergency shelter and advocacy, continued the release.

We are thrilled that this event brought in not only donations, but also more local exposure for Empowerhouse.”
