Meals on Wheels Davidson County joins Meals on Wheels America and Subaru of America, Inc. in Sharing the Love this Holiday Season
The 12th annual Subaru Share the Love® Event will help deliver nutritious meals and compassion to Davidson County seniors
Davidson County Senior Services 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 excited to partner with Subaru during their year-end sales. On average, 80 home bound elderly remain on a wait list for Meals on Wheels Davidson County. The revenue shared through this effort will allow us to deliver meals to some of those in need and waiting for this valuable service,” states Thessia Everhart-Roberts, Director of Davidson County Senior Services
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Meals on Wheels Davidson County, will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state.
“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.
