Busy shoppers in Cool Springs this holiday season can also become virtual Meals On Wheels drivers and provide food to homebound seniors, thanks to a new partnership between MILES Auto Spa and Meals on Wheels.
MILES Auto Spa, a full-service auto care center with two Cool Springs locations, is rolling out a partnership with Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels to bring more food to hungry seniors throughout this holiday season. Called MILES for Meals on Wheels, the partnership enables MILES Auto Wash and MILES Express customers to make a contribution to the organization for an entire meal, a slice of pie or a contribution of their choice throughout the month of December. 100% of all customer donations will be contributed to Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels and will be matched in various contests and drawings that will allow those who contributed to be awarded gift cards for services at MILES locations, including one award of unlimited free carwashes for one year. MILES Auto Spa and MILES Express are also offering free carwashes to any Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels drivers, who donate their time and vehicles to the organization.
The partnership also celebrates the opening of MILES second location, MILES Express at 404 Mallory Station Rd in Franklin. Unlike typical express wash models, MILES Express provides advanced car wash services, on-site sales and available hand drying and touch up. The new concept was unveiled in September when the former AutoWash Express was acquired and converted into a MILES Express. A grand opening will be held on Tuesday, December 15 with the Williamson County Chamber.
“Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels serves many seniors in need throughout our community, and we are humbled to work with this great organization,” said Miles Johnson, Founder of MILES Auto Spa. “Mobility is important to MILES customers – and yet it is what all homebound people lack – so this partnership with Meals on Wheels is a natural fit for us and we hope to help feed those in need during this holiday season and beyond.”
Each year, Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels serves over 300,000 meals to seniors in the community. Based on a national survey, many seniors who are served by Meals on Wheels choose between medicine and utilities or food. In Middle Tennessee alone, there are currently 300 seniors on a list, waiting to be accepted into the Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels program.
“Our volunteers drive over 350,000 miles each year to deliver meals to seniors in Middle Tennessee,” said Sharon McDaniel, community engagement manager of Mid-Cumberland Meals on Wheels. “This partnership with MILES Auto Spa and MILES Express allows us to continue serving many seniors in need throughout Middle Tennessee and thank our volunteers for providing invaluable service to those seniors.”
