Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc. Partners
with Yark Subaru of Toledo and LaRiche Subaru of Findlay to “Share the Love”
this Holiday Season
Subaru’s “Share the Love” event helps deliver
nutritious meals and compassion to Wood County’s seniors
Wood
County Committee on Aging, Inc. (WCCOA) is proud to announce its partnership
with both Yark Subaru of Toledo and LaRiche Subaru of Findlay this holiday
season to help fight senior isolation and hunger.
Yark Subaru will deliver meals to older adults
in northern Wood County on Thursday, December 11 at 11 a.m. out of our Rossford
Area Senior Center (400 Dixie Highway, Rossford). Yark Subaru will provide
representatives from its dealership along with a Subaru vehicle to deliver the
meals.
LaRiche Subaru will deliver meals to older
adults in southern Wood County on Thursday, December 11 at 11 a.m. at our North
Baltimore Area Senior Center (514 W. Water St., North Baltimore). LaRiche
Subaru will provide representatives from its dealership along with a Subaru
vehicle to deliver the meals.
The event will raise community awareness and
participation to support local seniors in need. This local effort is part of
the Meals On Wheels Association of America’s participation in Subaru of
America, Inc.’s national year-end “Share the Love” event, designed as a way for
Subaru retailers to give back to their local communities.
“We are very pleased that Subaru and MOWAA have
joined forces again this holiday season to ensure that no senior goes hungry,”
said Angie Bradford, Director of Food Service for WCCOA.
As a proud Subaru “Share the Love” event
charitable partner, local Meals On Wheels Member programs that partner with
Subaru retailers are eligible to earn grants of up to $35,000. This can provide
an extra layer of support to help deliver nutritious meals and other important
services to seniors in Wood County, Ohio.
“Subaru retailers and Meals On Wheels have
worked together since 2008, helping deliver one million meals to seniors every
day,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO, Meals On Wheels Association of
America. “We are truly honored to be one of Subaru’s national charities for the
seventh consecutive year. Their vital support enables us to power local
communities in their fight against senior hunger and isolation all year long.”
For every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased
from November 20, 2014, through January 2, 2015, Subaru will donate $250 to the
purchaser’s choice of participating charity. By the end of this, the seventh “Share the
Love” event, Subaru will have donated $50 million to charity over the past six
years – including the delivery of one million meals to seniors in need.
