Douglas County Senior Services Joins Meals on Wheels America
and Subaru of America in Sharing the Love this Holiday Season
18th Annual Subaru Share the Love Event helps deliver nutritious meals and compassion to Douglas County seniors
(Douglas County, Ore.) Douglas County Commissioners Tim Freeman, Tom Kress, and Chris Boice are pleased to support our Douglas County Senior Services Department as they participate in the annual grant program offered by the Subaru Share the Love Event. As a member of Meals on Wheels America, Douglas County Senior Services operates seven senior dining and delivery meal sites in Douglas County that serve over 80,000 meals a year. Meals on Wheels is one of the four national Share the Love charitable partners supported through the Share the Love grant campaign. For any new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased at one of the more than 640 Subaru retailers from Thursday, November 20, 2025, through Friday, January 2, 2026, Subaru will donate a minimum of $300 to the customer's choice of participating charities. Participating Meals on Wheels America members, like Douglas County Senior Services, will receive a share of the donations raised by Subaru in our state. Retailers can also select up to two local charities to receive an additional $50 per vehicle sold or leased. Moreover, many Subaru retailers will also contribute $5 for each routine service visit during the promotional period.
“Meals on Wheels America is proud to partner with Subaru of America for the 18th consecutive year to enable more seniors to live with independence and dignity,” said Ellie Hollander, President and CEO, Meals on Wheels America. “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.”
Subaru of America (SOA) is the largest automotive donor to Meals on Wheels America. Meals on Wheels America provide leadership to local, community-based programs dedicated to fighting hunger and isolation among our nation’s homebound seniors. Through our partnership with Meals on Wheels during the Share the Love Event, Subaru and our retailers have helped deliver nearly 5 million meals and friendly visits to vulnerable seniors across America. Over the past 20 years, SOA and the SOA Foundation have donated more than $340 million to causes the Subaru family cares about, and its employees have logged over 115,000 volunteer hours. This year’s Subaru Share the Love event is on track to bring that total to over $350 million, proving there’s no limit to the amount of love we can all share.
“As we kick off this holiday season, we’re especially honored to give back to the causes we value deeply. Through our annual Share the Love Event, Subaru and our retailers across the country shine a light on the generosity and care that define the support of our communities. Inspired by what matters to our customers and our retailers, we’re proud of the meaningful impact this event creates. ” - Jeff Walters, President and Chief Operating Officer, Subaru of America, Inc
