December 31, 2020 (All day) The Carson City Senior Center and Meals on Wheels Carson City is proud to announce that it will be participating in the 2020 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 Nov. 19, 2020, through Jan. 4, 2021, Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer's choice of participating charities.
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Meals on Wheels Carson City, will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. “Last year’s campaign gave us the opportunity to provide 3,179 more meals to Carson City homebound seniors,” said Courtney Warner, Executive Director of the Carson City Senior Center. “Having Subaru of America’s commitment to feed our most vulnerable gives us the ability expand the program and meet the demand,” stated Warner. Meals on Wheels Carson City delivered a record 110,936 meals last year.
“Meals on Wheels America is proud to partner with Subaru of America for the 13th 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 2.3 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 12 years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated more than $176 million to its charity partners. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to bring that total to over $200 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 Carson City.
