Washed Wheels, Deliver Meals — July 25, 2026

The Model

How the Pledge Model Works

A simple commitment: pledge a dollar amount per car, and pay based on how many cars our youth actually wash.

1

You Pledge Per Car

Choose your amount — $1, $5, $10, $20, or more — for every car our youth wash on event day.

2

We Wash, July 25

Our youth team washes up to 250 cars. We tally the count and report back to every sponsor.

3

Seniors Thrive

Your donation funds hot meals, wellness programs, and vital support for Twin Falls seniors.

Simple math:

Pledge $10 per car × 250 cars = $2,500 total contribution

Your total is capped at 250 cars — the maximum we commit to washing.

Why This Matters

The Twin Falls Senior Center

For decades, the Twin Falls Senior Center has been a lifeline for hundreds of Magic Valley seniors — providing nutritious daily meals, social connection, wellness programs, and transportation assistance.

Many seniors served live alone, on fixed incomes, with limited mobility. The Center's programs aren't a luxury — they're how these neighbors stay nourished, healthy, and connected.

Your pledge funds the programs that keep seniors independent and thriving right here in Twin Falls.

Hot Meals Daily

Nutritious meals served on-site and delivered to homebound seniors throughout the community.

Social Connection

Enriching activities, classes, and community programs that combat loneliness and isolation.

Wellness Programs

Exercise classes, health screenings, and resources that keep seniors active and independent.

Transportation Assistance

Rides to medical appointments, the Center, and essential services for those without reliable transport.

A Tax-Smart Way to Give

Give from Your Retirement Account

If you're 59½ or older, your retirement savings can fund this pledge — often with significant tax advantages. Two options worth knowing.

Age 59½ or Older

401(k) Penalty-Free Withdrawal

At age 59½, the IRS allows you to withdraw from your 401(k), 403(b), or traditional IRA without the 10% early withdrawal penalty. You can then use those funds to make a pledge to the Senior Center.

The withdrawal is still subject to ordinary income tax — but if you itemize deductions, your charitable donation may offset a portion of that tax liability.

Example

Withdraw $2,500 → pledge $10/car × 250 cars = $2,500 to the Senior Center. Donation may be deductible if you itemize.

Age 70½ or Older

IRA Qualified Charitable Distribution

A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) lets you transfer up to $105,000 per year directly from your IRA to a qualifying charity. The amount is excluded from your taxable income entirely — not just deducted.

QCDs also count toward your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD), making them one of the most tax-efficient ways to give if you're 70½ or older — particularly if you don't itemize deductions.

Key Detail

The distribution must go directly from your IRA custodian to the qualifying charity. Contact your IRA provider to initiate a QCD.

This is general information, not tax advice. Please consult your tax advisor or financial planner to determine which option is best for your situation. Both strategies are legal, IRS-recognized approaches to charitable giving from retirement accounts.
