Scenic Suds Car Wash Express is accepting and matching donations at all 11 of its locations during November. All donated funds go toward wreaths for Wreaths Across Chattanooga, an all-volunteer organization, to be placed on veterans' graves.

Why it matters

The campaign directly supports a community tradition honoring veterans buried at Chattanooga National Cemetery. Because all donations stay in Chattanooga and the wreaths are bought locally, the effort keeps funds within the local economy.

Scenic Suds Car Wash Express operates 11 locations that are matching donations this November. The wreaths will cover more than 50,000 veteran graves at Chattanooga National Cemetery, and the total dollars raised have not yet been disclosed.

Philanthropy Pattern

The Chattanooga campaign mirrors the model of Wreaths Across America, which has coordinated December wreath placements at national cemeteries for decades. Local volunteer groups and businesses in Chattanooga are adapting that national tradition through community fundraising.

Customers at any of Scenic Suds' 11 locations can round up or donate during November, and every dollar matched stays in Chattanooga. Residents who want to help can contribute at a participating car wash before the December placement date.

The takeaway

Small, locally focused donation drives can turn everyday errands into support for veterans' memorials. Checking whether local businesses are running matching campaigns is an easy way to give within your own community.
