Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for food assistance in Riverside and San Bernardino counties has increased exponentially. To help neighbors struggling with hunger during this unprecedented time, Subaru of America and local Subaru retailers have donated $44,810 to Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino (FARSB). This donation will help to provide up to 358,480 meals to neighbors in need during COVID-19. “One in five children in the Inland Empire experience food insecurity, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only shown more families how close we all are to experiencing it,” said Stephanie Otero, CEO at FARSB. “We are grateful for this partnership with Subaru to provide meals for our neighbors who are seeking help due to food-insecurity,” said Otero. FARSB is one of 198 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. “Supporting our communities is an essential part of our Subaru Love Promise to show love and respect for all people, simply because it is the right thing to do,” said Thomas J. Doll, President and CEO, Subaru of America, Inc. “We are grateful for the opportunity to provide comfort and stability to our neighbors during these trying times.” 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.
