The 14th annual Subaru Share the Love® Event will help deliver nutritious meals and compassion to Eastern Connecticut’s seniors
Bozrah, Conn. (November 29, 2022) – Thames Valley Council for Community Action (TVCCA) is proud to announce that it will be participating in the 2021 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 17, 2022, through January 3, 2023, Subaru of America will donate $300 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer's choice of participating charities.
Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like TVCCA, will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. TVCCA has partnered with Secor Subaru in New London, CT to raise awareness for the popular year-end sales and giving event.
“Secor Subaru has provided the energy and synergy behind Share the Love in New London, CT, demonstrating their commitment to community, to those who live in the community and to a very special population of senior citizens,” says TVCCA CEO Deborah Monahan. “Secor Subaru has donated funds that have paid for more than 30,000 meals allowing thousands of seniors to age-in-place with dignity. We are honored and privileged to be their Hometown Charity.”
Over the last 14 years, Subaru of America and its participating retailers have donated more than $200 million to its charity partners and more than $22.3 to Meals on Wheels. This year’s Subaru Share the Love Event is on track to bring that total to over $200 million, proving there’s no limit to the amount of love we can all share.
“Meals on Wheels America are proud to partner with Subaru of America for the 15th 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 delivers more than 3.0 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.”
By purchasing or leasing a new Subaru during the Subaru Share the Love Event and selecting Meals on Wheels as your charity of choice, you can help deliver nutritious meals and other important services to senior’s right here in Eastern Connecticut.
TVCCA Meals on Wheels delivers more than 300,000 meals to 1,600 homebound seniors in New London, Windham, and parts of Tolland Counties each year. TVCCA also provides meals at many senior centers throughout the region.
Thanks to support from generous individual donors, foundations, and local businesses like Secor Subaru, TVCCA Meals on Wheels has been able to meet the needs of our community during this difficult time.
