East Pasco Meals on Wheels Receives Funding Through Subaru Share the Love Event
Local organization awarded support for participation in nationwide initiative benefiting homebound seniors
PASCO COUNTY, FLORIDA —
East Pasco Meals on Wheels proudly announced its participation in the 2025-2026 Subaru Share the Love Event, joining 320 member organizations across the country in one of the nation's most impactful charitable campaigns. East Pasco Meals on Wheels was notified that it will receive funding from Subaru of America as a result of its participation in the annual event, held during the holiday season. This support represents a significant milestone in the ongoing partnership between Subaru and the Meals on Wheels network.
The Subaru Share the Love Event enables car buyers to make a difference in their communities at no cost to themselves. For every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased between November 20, 2025, and January 2, 2026, Subaru and its retailers donated a minimum of $300 to charities designated by the purchaser, including Meals on Wheels America.
In Florida alone, 12 participating Meals on Wheels programs collaborated to amplify the reach of this vital campaign, demonstrating the state's commitment to addressing senior hunger and isolation.
A Partnership That Delivers More Than Meals
Since 2008, Subaru has been a steadfast supporter of Meals on Wheels America, recognizing that the organization delivers much more than nutritious meals. Each delivery provides a critical wellness check, human connection, and safety monitoring for vulnerable seniors who might otherwise spend days without seeing another person.
The collaboration between Subaru and Meals on Wheels extends far beyond financial contributions. Across the nation, Subaru retailers and their employees have forged meaningful partnerships with local Meals on Wheels programs through volunteerism, board service, and creative community engagement initiatives.
The Local Impact of a National Partnership
Subaru's commitment to Meals on Wheels manifests in communities nationwide through various meaningful initiatives:
- Subaru donated 50 Outback vehicles to Meals on Wheels programs nationwide to celebrate the company's 50th anniversary
- Retail leaders serve on local Meals on Wheels boards, providing business expertise and strategic guidance
- Dealership staff regularly volunteer to deliver meals and visit with homebound seniors
- Local retailers organize paper product drives, create birthday gifts for clients, and support special initiatives
- Subaru has extended emergency support following major natural disasters affecting senior populations
The Subaru Share the Love Event represents more than charitable giving. It embodies a shared commitment to ensuring that no senior in our community faces hunger or isolation. This partnership allows us to deliver not just meals, but dignity, safety, and human connection to our most vulnerable neighbors.
The 2025-2026 campaign comes at a critical time for America's seniors. As the population ages and the need for Meals on Wheels services continues to grow, partnerships like the one with Subaru become increasingly vital. Every year, Meals on Wheels serves over 2 million seniors nationwide, yet this represents only a fraction of those waiting for help.
East Pasco Meals on Wheels remains committed to addressing senior hunger and isolation in the local community. The organization's participation in the Subaru Share the Love Event reflects its ongoing efforts to secure resources that enable the delivery of nutritious meals and compassionate care to homebound seniors throughout Pasco County.
