The Wood County Committee on Aging, Inc. (WCCOA) has partnered with both Yark Subaru of Toledo and
LaRiche Subaru of Findlay this holiday season in an effort to help fight senior isolation and hunger.

Staff members of Yark Subaru delivered meals to older adults in northern Wood County on Dec. 11 out of
the Rossford Area Senior Center; while the staff of LaRiche Subaru delivered meals to older adults in
southern Wood County on at the North Baltimore Area Senior Center.
The event was all part of an effort to raise community awareness and participation to support local
seniors in need. This local effort is part of the Meals On Wheels Association of America’s (MOWAA)
participation in Subaru of America, Inc.’s national year-end "Share the Love" event.
"We are very pleased that Subaru and MOWAA have joined forces again this holiday season to ensure
that no senior goes hungry," said Angie Bradford, Director of Food Service for WCCOA.
The meals program as a partner in the program is eligible to earn grants of up to $35,000. This can
provide an extra layer of support to help deliver nutritious meals and other important services to
seniors in Wood County.
Ellie Hollander, President and CEO, Meals On Wheels Association of America said, "We are truly
honored to be one of Subaru’s national charities for the seventh consecutive year. Their vital support
enables us to power local communities in their fight against senior hunger and isolation all year
long."
For every new Subaru vehicle sold or leased from Nov. 20, through Jan. 2, Subaru will donate $250 to the
purchaser’s choice of participating group. By the end of this, the seventh "Share the Love"
event, Subaru will have donated $50 million to charity over the past six years – including the delivery
of one million meals to seniors in need.
