To help those struggling with hunger during this unprecedented time, Subaru of America and local Subaru retailers--including one of our local partners Johnson Subaru of Cary--have donated $24,782 to Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. This donation supports the Food Shuttle’s ongoing efforts to get food to families, children, and seniors affected by the virus and its economic impact.
“One in 7 people in North Carolina is faced with hunger, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased that need,” said L. Ron Pringle, President and CEO of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. “As COVID-19 continues to impact communities, our programs are innovating and shifting to make sure we can continue to go to the point of need and help those who need it most. We are grateful for this partnership with Subaru to provide meals for our neighbors struggling to make ends meet.”
“Our team at Johnson Subaru is thrilled to support Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. The Food Shuttle has made a huge impact on our community and continues to assist those in need. We are so happy to contribute and help the organization enhance their capacity to serve,“ said Anna Haddock, Marketing Assistant at Johnson Automotive.
Inter-Faith Food Shuttle is one of the many Feeding America® member food banks receiving donations from Subaru, its independent distributors, and the Subaru network of 633 retailers nationwide. The partnership will also foster relationships with local Feeding America member food banks through ongoing support in the form of food drives, donations and volunteer events. 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.
