This holiday season marks the 15th annual partnership between Meals on Wheels America and Subaru America for the 2022 Share the Love Event. Our partnership over the past 15 years has aided in donating nearly 4 million meals and friendly visits to seniors being served by local Meals on Wheels programs across the county.
Why does Subaru support Meals on Wheels? In 2021, 1 in 8 seniors were threatened by or experienced hunger and 1 in 4 seniors were alone and isolated. We partner with Subaru to help us reach those seniors left behind, alone, hungry, and struggling to stay independent and healthy. Meals on Wheels by ACC prides itself on being more than just a meal. We aim to deliver not only a nutritious meal but also a friendly check-up and other safety-net services to seniors all over Sacramento County.
How it works: As part of a national partnership with Meals on Wheels America, Subaru of America, Inc. willdonate $250 to the purchaser’s choice of participating charities* – one of which is Meals on Wheels America –for every new vehicle purchased or leased from November 17, 2022, through January 3, 2023. Since 2008,Subaru and its participating retailers have donated $27 million to Meals on Wheels programs- and you can help grow that total!
We understand if you cannot participate in purchasing or leasing a Subaru vehicle. However, you can still help by sharing, reposting, and liking our social media and blog posts to spread the word to your friends and family this holiday season.
