Businesses Giving Back 


With all the stress and negativity in the news, it's nice to hear stories of kindness and giving during this difficult time. Matt Jackson, chair of the Millcreek Business Council's Networking Committee, shared the following story on his Instagram:

"ATTENTION DOCTORS, NURSES, AND GROCERY STORE WORKERS:
I've teamed up with my buddy Taylor @curbsidecarwashmobile to open a tab for all of you to come get a drink and a treat on us.

Then when we met with @ethanfromthirst he loved this idea and instantly matched our donations.

We currently have a $300 tab running for anyone that falls into this category to come get a free drink and cookie/treat of any kind.

We love you and appreciate your service, enjoy a much deserved treat on us. "
We are incredibly grateful to Matt, Thirst Drinks, and Curbside Carwash for their generosity towards the hardworking men and women that are keeping our community going during the COVID-19 pandemic. And to our doctors, nurses, and grocery store workers, THANK YOU for all you do! Go treat yourself to a treat and a car wash!
