"A collaboration between Meals on Wheels of Chemung County, Simmons-Rockwell Subaru and Subaru owners across the region ended this week with a $10,000 grant awarded to Meals on Wheels.
It was part of the national "Share the Love" event, which fostered partnerships between local Meals on Wheels programs and Subaru dealerships.
Share the Love ran from Nov. 19 to Jan. 3. Subaru donated $250 for every new Subaru sold or leased during that period to the customer's choice of one of five charities, including Meals on Wheels.
The grants from Meals on Wheels Association of America ranged from $250 to $35,000.
On Wednesday, Meals on Wheels Executive Director Darlene Ike announced that the local program was awarded $10,000.
The award exceeded expectations at Simmons-Rockwell and Meals on Wheels, she said, adding, "It was beyond our wildest dreams."
Throughout December, Subaru owners and Simmons-Rockwell employees delivered meals across the region.
"Together, we have demonstrated to our community the level of commitment that Meals On Wheels of Chemung County, Subaru, the employees, families and customer base of Simmons-Rockwell Subaru all have, to keep our program and services going strong" Ike said." [Read more]
