Popular Cares: Community Impact in 2026

Popular Car Wash has been part of the GTA, Durham Region, and Hamilton for over two decades. Beyond keeping cars clean, we support the communities we operate in through fundraiser hosting, school partnerships, and a local-first hiring practice. Here is what that looks like in 2026.

Fundraisers

We host fundraiser car-wash days for local schools, sports teams, and community groups across our 11 locations. The group keeps a portion of each wash sold during their event window. We have hosted dozens of these over the years and it is one of the most consistent ways we show up in the community.

If your group is interested, the fundraising application is on our site under Fundraising — fast turnaround, friendly process.

Local hiring

Most of our staff live in the same communities they work in. The team at our Whitby site lives in Whitby, the team at Hamilton lives in Hamilton, and so on. We invest in training and promote from within wherever we can.

School partnerships

We partner with local high schools and post-secondary programs on co-op placements and first-job opportunities. For many of our staff, Popular was their first job, and several have gone on to leadership roles within the company.
