Meals on Wheels of Mature Services joins Meals on Wheels America and Subaru in Sharing the Love this Holiday Season
Subaru Share the Love Event ® Helps Deliver Nutritious Meals and Compassion to Summit County’s Seniors
Akron, Ohio (Nov. 16, 2017) – The Meals on Wheels Program of Mature Services is proud to announce that it will be participating in the annual Subaru Share the Love Event as a member of Meals on Wheels America – one of four national Share the Love charitable partners for the tenth year running. From November 16, 2017, to January 2, 2018, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer’s choice of participating charity.
“Our programs serve about 1,300 meals per day,” said Catherine Lewis, program director. “Meals on Wheels of Mature Services continues to grow because we provide delicious meals from a menu that clients can choose from. Providing choices to our clients at a time in their lives when they have so few choices available to them is very popular. The support of the Subaru Share the Love Event will allow us to reach even more seniors and homebound clients in Summit County that need our services.”
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Mature Services, will receive a share of the revenue raised by Subaru in their state. The shares help local Meals on Wheels continue its mission to fight hunger and isolation among our nation’s homebound seniors.
This year marks Subaru’s 50th anniversary in the U.S. For the second year in a row, there will be no cap on the total donation from Subaru of America to its Share the Love charitable partners.
“It is part of our culture at Subaru to support causes important to our employees, retailers and owners and we are proud to have continued that tradition for ten consecutive years,” said Alan Bethke, senior vice president of marketing, Subaru of America Inc. “Through the Share the Love event, we are excited to continue our commitment to support our national and hometown charity partners and aim to donate $115 million in total by the end of this year’s campaign.”
By purchasing or leasing a new Subaru during the Event and selecting Meals on Wheels America as your charity of choice, you can help deliver nutritious meals and other important services to seniors right here in Summit County.
