Generally you receive gifts for turning 50, but Subaru of America, Inc., would rather give them. The company announced it's donating 50 2018 Subaru Outback vehicles to Meals on Wheels, a nonprofit that provides meals to seniors across 39 states.
“This generous vehicle donation will have an immediate and indelible impact on local Meals on Wheels programs and the seniors they serve – many of whom live in rural, remote and difficult to reach places,” said Ellie Hollander, president and CEO, Meals on Wheels America. “This latest act of care and kindness further underscores Subaru of America’s longstanding commitment to giving back to communities large and small.”
Subaru has partnered with Meals on Wheels for nearly a decade via Subaru Share the Love, an annual drive that donates to local and national charities. The company's efforts raised more than $12 million for the charity and provided more than 1.7 million meals during that time.
“We were pleased to break this announcement to our retailers as they do so much to help their local communities and showing them the first of 50 vehicles in the metal really brings the program to life,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “We wanted to celebrate our 50th anniversary in America in a way that is appropriate for our brand and are delighted to donate vehicles that will support local communities by combatting threats of isolation and hunger affecting seniors across the country."
