The 14th annual Subaru Share the Love® Event will help deliver nutritious meals and compassion to seniors in Northeast Minnesota.
AEOA is proud to announce that it will be participating in the 2021 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 18, 2021, through January 3, 2022, Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer’s choice of participating charities.
Marilyn Ocepek, AEOA Director of Senior and Nutrition Services, said “The Subaru annual event brings nationwide attention to a much-needed service for older adults who rely on the service. Sometimes community members forget that this service is here and that we rely on the daily support of volunteer drivers and fundraising activities to maintain the service.”
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like AEOA will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. AEOA has partnered with the Miller Hill Subaru in Hermantown to raise awareness for the popular year-end sales and giving event, and drive support for Meals on Wheels through various media outlets.
“Meals on Wheels America is proud to partner with Subaru of America for the 14th 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 2.5 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 13 years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated more than $200 million to its charity partners. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to bring that total to over $225 million, proving there’s no limit to the amount of love we can all share.
By purchasing or leasing a new Subaru during the Subaru Share the Love Event and selecting Meals on Wheels as your charity of choice, you can help deliver nutritious meals and other important services to seniors right here in Northeast Minnesota.
