Share the Love Donation Update

Burlington Subaru Share the Love Food Drive
As of Tuesday, we've raised $16,250 for the Chittenden Emergency Food Shelf! We wanted to first thank our customers who have purchased new Subaru vehicles and chosen CEFS as their charity of choice to receive $250 from Subaru, and second to thank those who have stopped in to help fill our Subaru Outback with non-perishables for the Food Shelf!

We are exactly halfway through the Share the Love Event, which started on Nov. 21 and ends on Jan. 2. Our goal is to reach $31,000.

Let's take a look at the impact these donations can have on Vermonters who are in need.

With $16,250 CEFS can:
Burlington Subaru Share the Love Event
Provide 48,750 meals
Offer 65 families of four a two & a half week supply of groceries
Buy 8,125lbs of food

If we reach our goal! CEFS can:

Provide 93,000 meals
Offer 124 families of four a two & a half week supply of groceries
Buy 15,500lbs of food

It's amazing to see these numbers on paper, and to see how a little amount of money goes such a long way at CEFS. We hope to be able to donate more than a little, so it goes an even longer way! To read up on the annual event, head to our Share the Love page here.
