Bethlehem, PA November 19, 2018 – Meals On Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley is proud to announce that it will be participating in the 2018 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 promotion. From November 15, 2018, through January 2, 2019, Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer’s choice of participating charities.
“Subaru’s Share the Love Event has generated over $100,000 to MOWGLV since 2013. This is a fantastic way for Subaru to give back to the community. We are so grateful that Subaru continues to shine a spotlight on the critical issue of senior nutrition and isolation. Our relationship with Subaru, and our local partner Faulkner Subaru, has been integral to our ability to serve over 1,400 seniors each year with medically tailored meals and a friendly visit”. Victoria Coyle, CEO, MOWGLV, Bethlehem.
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Meals On Wheels of the Greater Lehigh Valley 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 Pumpkin Pie preparation, meal delivery and a drive at the dealership.
“Meals on Wheels America is thrilled to partner with Subaru of America for the Subaru Share the Love Event for the eleventh year in a row,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels America. “Since 2008, the Subaru Share the Love Event has helped local Meals on Wheels programs deliver nearly 2 million meals to vulnerable seniors nationwide. We remain proud and grateful to have the generous support of Subaru in helping us ensure that homebound seniors receive the daily nutrition and companionship they need to thrive.”
Over the last 10 years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated more than $118 million to its charity partners. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to bring that total to over $140 million, proving there’s no limit to the amount of love we can all share.
