The 12th annual Subaru Share the Love® Event will help deliver nutritious meals and compassion to Lehigh Valley’s seniors
Bethlehem, PA (November 18, 2019) – Meals on Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley (MOWGLV) is proud to announce that it will be participating in the 2019 Subaru Share the Love Event as a member of Meals on Wheels America – one of four national Share the Love charitable partners supported through the campaign. From November 14, 2019, through January 2, 2020, Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer’s choice of participating charities.
We are so grateful for Subaru’s Share the Love event. It has generated over $100,000 for us since 2013. Subaru’s commitment to our community and focus on senior nutrition and isolation is integral to us reaching more people who need help. Our local partnership with Faulkner Subaru helped us to serve approximately 1,900 seniors last year with healthy meals and a friendly visit. We can’t do this work alone! Victoria Coyle, CEO, MOWGLV, Bethlehem.
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like MOWGLV, will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. MOWGLV has partnered with Faulkner Subaru in Bethlehem, PA to raise awareness for the popular year-end sales and giving event, and drive support for Meals on Wheels through holiday meal preparation and meal delivery.
“Meals on Wheels America is proud to partner with Subaru of America for the 12th consecutive year to enable more seniors to live with independence and dignity,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels America. “Since 2008, the Subaru Share the Love Event has helped deliver more than 2.2 million meals and friendly visits to vulnerable seniors nationwide. We’re enormously grateful to Subaru and its retailers for their long-standing commitment to Meals on Wheels and the millions of seniors who depend on it for nourishment and companionship.”
Over the last 11 years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated more than $145 million to its charity partners. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to bring that total to over $170 million, proving there’s no limit to the amount of love we can all share.
“Once again, Subaru and their retailers show their dedication to local communities with the annual “Share the Love” event. From November 15th to January 2nd, Subaru will donate $250 for every vehicle sold to a charity of the customer’s choosing”. Dave Kopew, General Manager of Faulkner Subaru, Bethlehem
