2018 SUBARU SHARE THE LOVE EVENT TO BENEFIT MEALS ON WHEELS
NOVEMBER 15, 2018 (Scarborough, ME) – Subaru of America, Inc. today announced the return of its annual Share the Love event in 2018. Eleven years running, this year’s Share the Love event marks the third consecutive year there will be no cap placed 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 $140 million donated since Share the Love event started in 2007.
From November 15, 2018 to January 2, 2019, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at more than 628 participating Subaru retailers nationwide to the customer’s charity choice. Meals on Wheels America is one of four national participating charities, and has been since the inception of the Event.
Through this campaign, as a member of Meals on Wheels America, Southern Maine Agency on Aging’s Meals on Wheels program will receive a share of the revenue earned in Maine. Last year this event generated over $3,200 in funds for SMAA’s programs right here in York and Cumberland counties.
