Carson City Senior Center and Meals on Wheels Carson City will be participating in the 2021 Subaru Share the Love Event as a member of Meals on Wheels America. Meals on Wheels America is one of four national Share the Love charitable partners supported through the campaign. Through Jan. 3, Subaru of America will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer's choice of participating charities. Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Meals on Wheels Carson City, will receive a share of the donation raised by Subaru in their state. “With the support from last year’s campaign, we were able to deliver an additional 3,705 meals,” said Courtney Warner, director of the Carson City Senior Center who operates Meals on Wheels. “We are beyond grateful for Subaru of America’s support and commitment to feed Carson City’s homebound seniors.” Last year, Meals on Wheels Carson City delivered over 106,000 meals while only receiving federal grant funding for 90,000 meals. “Every dollar raised for Meals on Wheels goes directly into the program to meet the rising demand. No senior should worry about where their next meal comes from and with fantastic partnerships with organizations like Subaru of America, we can continue to feed more seniors at risk of going hungry,” said Warner. 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 seniors right here in Carson City.
