121,619 Meals Donated to Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest FL

FORT MYERS, FL May 4, 2020 – In an effort to strengthen and care for the local community as it fights the COVID-19 pandemic, O’Brien Subaru will work with Feeding America® as part of the larger Subaru of America, Inc. initiative to provide 50 million meals* to people hit hardest by the crisis. The significant partnership with the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization and the Subaru retailer network will help families and individuals across the country during these uncertain times.

Prior to the onset of COVID-19, hunger was already a reality for 37 million Americans, 11 million of whom are children. As families face the reality of sheltering in place and its associated fallout for the foreseeable future, millions more face the very real danger of unemployment, unprecedented difficulty accessing and purchasing food and an increased reliance on food banks to keep food on their tables. Therefore, O’Brie Subaru will work with the Feeding America network to enable food banks to secure the resources they need to serve the most vulnerable members of their communities.

As part of the program, O’Brien Subaru will support the Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida, through Feeding America. Through these initiatives, O’Brien Subaru aims to provide immediate and crucial assistance to those affected and help the community get back on its feet.

The automaker's donation to Feeding America® is a part of the Subaru Loves to Help pillar, the community-focused initiative of the Subaru Love Promise. To learn more about Subaru Loves to Help and the community work Subaru does, visit subaru.com/community.

* $1 helps to provide at least ten meals secured by Feeding America® on behalf of local member food banks
