Resident Council President Al Koop organized a car wash to raise funds for these families.
On Thursday, October 30, twenty volunteer residents washed the ash-covered cars of residents and staff. The assembly line included a spray-down station, suds-down station, a rinse and dry station and two ladies who were in charge of the window washing station. The volunteers, averaging about 79 years of age, washed 80 cars in 240 minutes – a clean car about every three minutes.
The volunteers said they felt rewarded and had a sense of accomplishment raising the money, all the while enjoying fun, fellowship and a good time – “acting like teenagers” as one put it.
Through their efforts, the volunteers of Mount Miguel Covenant Village have raised more than $5,350.
Mount Miguel Covenant Village is a retirement community located in Spring Valley, part of Covenant Ministries of Benevolence of the Evangelical Covenant Church.
