50th anniversary of the Senior Nutrition Program

By |February 28th, 2022|

Nutrition is a vital component of our health and well-being, especially as we age. Sometimes older adults lack access to high-quality, nutritious food they need to remain healthy and independent.

Since 1972, the national Senior Nutrition Program has been there to support older adults by providing nutrition services across the country. Funded by the Older Americans Act, the Administration for Community Living (ACL)[1] provides grants to states to support a network of local programs that deliver nutrition services to older adults. These programs promote healthy eating, decrease social isolation, and support better health. This March, HESSCO is proud to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the National Senior Nutrition Program.

The 2021 Subaru Share the Love Event

By |December 3rd, 2021|

For the 14th year running, the Meals on Wheels network is participating in the 2021 Subaru Share the Love Event. Over the past thirteen years, Subaru and its retailers have helped Meals on Wheels to deliver more than 2.5 million meals nationwide to seniors in need!

Subaru supports Meals on Wheels because one in four seniors lives alone in isolation and one in seven seniors might not know from where their next meal is coming. This is simply unacceptable, which is why HESSCO provides nutritious meals, friendly visits and safety checks to the seniors in the area. This vital support helps to keep older adults independent in their own homes.

We are grateful to Subaru and its Retailers for supporting our organization and the seniors we serve. With that in mind, we thought you might want to learn a little bit more about the Subaru Share the Love Event.

From November 18, 2021, through January 3, 2022, for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased, Subaru will donate $250 to the customer’s choice of participating charities.* Meals on Wheels is one of four national participating charities and has been since the inception of the event. Through this event, as a member of Meals on Wheels America, HESSCO will receive a share of the donation from Subaru vehicles sold at participating Subaru Retailers.

So please remember, when you purchase or lease a new Subaru this holiday season, select Meals on Wheels as your charity of choice. If your not in the market to purchase a new car, please look into the Subaru Share the Love Event to learn more.
