Hampton Roads, Va. (Nov. 14, 2019) – Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia (SSSEVA) is proud to announce that it will be participating in the 2019 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 14, 2019, through January 2, 2020, 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 SSSEVA, will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. SSSEVA will be participating in a variety of activities throughout the campaign period to raise awareness for the popular year- end sales and giving event, and drive support for Meals on Wheels.
“As a proud Meals on Wheels America member agency, Senior Services of Southeastern Virginia is excited to participate in the 2019 Share the Love campaign,” said Senior Services CEO Steve Zollos. “The annual Share the Love campaigns help spread awareness about the serious issue of senior hunger in our local communities. We are truly grateful to Subaru of America and its local dealerships for their generous support of the work that we do through the annual Share the Love campaigns.”
“Meals on Wheels America is proud to partner with Subaru of America for the 12th 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 2.2 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 11 years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated more than $145 million to its charity partners. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to bring that total to over $170 million, proving there’s no limit to the amount of love we can all share.
