St. Padre Pio Academy will host car washes on Saturdays, May 10 and 17, from 10 to 2 in the Party Depot parking lot, 98 Danbury Road. For a donation, students will wash and dry cars using environmentally friendly products. As a thank-you, participants will receive a coupon for a free muffin between 10 and noon, and a free hot dog between noon and 2.
The car washes are an extension of spring fund-raising efforts for the academy, located on Tackora Trail.
“We are very grateful for the generosity of the community during our annual spring fund-raising campaign, and to Party Depot for donating the use of their parking lot. We invite everyone to stop by and put our students to work for a good cause,” noted Father Michael Goldade, academy principal.
