Springwell will Share the Love this Holiday Season

Springwell is proud to announce that it will be participating in the tenth annual 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 promotion. From November 16, 2017 to January 2, 2018, Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased to the customer's choice of participating charity.

According to Springwell’s Chief Executive Officer, Ruth Beckerman-Rodau, “Engaged community businesses are a critical source of support for Springwell’s Programs. While we receive a baseline of government funding for many of our programs, the need always exceeds this baseline. Support generated from The 2017 Subaru Share the Love Event, will go to immediate use helping local seniors receive more than 190,000 hot, home-delivered meals from Springwell in 2017. The majority of seniors receiving meals live on fixed incomes and nearly one in four lives in poverty.”

Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Springwell, will receive a share of the revenue raised by Subaru in their state. Springwell recently highlighted their participation in the Share the Love Event at it’s 40th anniversary reception, “Transforming Lives.” (pictured)

“For the past ten years, Subaru of America has partnered alongside the Meals on Wheels network to deliver nutrition, companionship and comfort to our nation’s most vulnerable seniors,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels America. “Since 2008, Subaru’s Share the Love Event has helped deliver more than 1.7 million meals to seniors served by Meals on Wheels. Funds raised through this year’s event will come at a critical time for the Meals on Wheels network, allowing our boots on the ground to deliver even more of these critically needed services.”

This year marks the automaker's 50th Anniversary in the U.S. and, for the second year in a row, there will be no cap on the total donation from Subaru of America to its Share the Love charitable partners. At the culmination of this year, Subaru hopes to exceed a grand total of $115 million donated since the creation of Share the Love to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the event.

By purchasing or leasing a new Subaru during the Event and selecting Meals on Wheels America as your charity of choice, you can help deliver nutritious meals and other important services to seniors right here in Waltham.
