A follow up to the car wash project

Lori Renaud, her family and a friend worked at one of the car washes on A Day to Serve. They were able to bless 18 different cars with a wash and an extra buck. The church provided them with $50 for their car wash. After about 1:30 pm, they still had some money left. They didn't feel right about just giving that money back to the church, since the purpose was to bless the city. So, they decided to get rid of the money by blessing more people. They drove thru a couple of fast food restaurants and instead of ordering something, they gave the cashier a dollar, a card and thanked them for serving people. They went to a gas station, gave the people pumping gas a dollar as well as the person working there. Then they went to the Hy-Vee parking lot and stopped people as they were going in the store to give them a dollar and a card.

They got a lot of unexpected reactions - people were surprised by what they were doing. The Renauds had more fun as a family serving other people and being creative giving that $32 away than they would have had going out and spending money on entertainment. Lori said the family would like to do something like this again together!
