On Tuesday, March 4th, 2014, representatives from Subaru and Subaru Stamford presented The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County were with a check in the amount of $7,978.95, which was the Food Bank's proceeds from the recent Subaru "Share The Love" event that ran from November 21, 2013 to January 2, 2014.
During the "Share The Love" event, Subaru donated $250 per new vehicle sold or leased to the customer's choice of one or more of five national charities: ASPCA, Make-A-Wish, Meals On Wheels Association of America, National Park Foundation and Teach For America. This year dealers were allowed to select one local, qualifying charity as well, and Subaru Stamford selected The Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County for its work in assisting over 180,000 needy individuals in our area. During the time frame of the event Subaru Stamford was decorated with banners prominently displaying "Share The Love" as well as providing information and donation materials throughout the dealership.
