Through education, Folds of Honor meets sacrifice with hope. Each scholarship is a commitment to the families of those who bravely serve and protect our country and communities. ZIPS customers can help drive academic success for military and first responder families by purchasing a car wash and adding a $1, $3, or $5 Folds of Honor donation to their wash purchase at any ZIPS location or in the ZIPS mobile app. The ZIPS Car Wash app is available for free download from the App Store on IOS and the Google Play Store on Android and is packed with benefits for ZIPS customers including app-exclusive deals on single wash purchases, reward points for purchases, and many more app-only contests and offers.

“Customers can clearly notice the enhancements to their ZIPS experience at our renovated locations,” stated Pete Nani, CEO of ZIPS Car Wash. “We are committed to reinvesting in the communities we serve by upgrading our facilities, supporting our team members, and recognizing local heroes such as military families and teachers,” he added.
