Grace for Vets has provided more than 4.6 million washes
Grace for Vets was founded more than 20 years ago. It brings together car wash operators across the United States and internationally to thank service members with free washes. Since the program began, it has provided more than 4.6 million complimentary washes worldwide.
Last year, participating operators collectively gave away more than 407,000 free washes. EWC alone honored more than 4,000 military personnel across its portfolio in 2025.
EWC's founder points to conversations with veterans
