The 12th annual Subaru Share the Love® Event will help deliver nutritious meals and compassion to New Orleans Seniors
New Orleans, LA, 2019 – Kinship Center 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.
“Each year that we have participated in this event, the results allow our seniors to continue to enjoy education and nutrition that is vital to their overall well-being. Kinship is so proud to support Subaru and all they do for our communities.” Elaine Looney, Executive Director, Kinship Senior Center.
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Kinship Center will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. Kinship has partnered with Bryan Subaru in Metairie to raise awareness for the popular year-end sales and giving event, and drive support for Meals on Wheels through our annual holiday bake sale.
“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.
