“One in eight people face hunger in America, including more than 13 million children. We are thankful to Subaru for its ongoing commitment to fighting hunger and supporting children and families in need,” said Nancy Curby, senior vice president of corporate partnerships and operations, Feeding America.

“As we celebrate another record-breaking year at Subaru, we, alongside our retailers and loyal customers, recognize the vital importance of giving back to our local communities across the country,” said Thomas J. Doll, president and chief operating officer, Subaru of America, Inc. “We are proud to once again work alongside Feeding America to fight hunger and provide meals to those who need them most.”

In 2016, Subaru of America once again shattered its all-times sales record, marking the eighth consecutive year of sales records and ninth consecutive year of sales increases, with many Subaru carlines contributing to the company’s record-breaking success this year.
