SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 2994-2017, Increasing Revenues and Appropriations In the
Senior Citizen Fund for the Donation of a 2018 Subaru Outback Vehicle for the
Meals on Wheels Program from Subaru of America, Inc. and Meals on Wheels
Association of America.
Subaru of America, Inc. donated 50 new 2018 'Subaru Outback vehicles (wrapped with Meals on
Wheels America and 'Subaru Loves to Help' co -branding) to select Meals on Wheels programs
throughout the country to be used in the delivery of Meals on Wheels to seniors across 39 states.
The Kenai Senior Center had the opportunity to apply to the "Subaru 50 Cars for 50 Years Vehicle
Donation" and were subsequently awarded one of two 2018 Subaru Outbacks within the State of
Alaska. The second vehicle was awarded to the Homer Senior Citizens, Inc.
Representing the City of Kenai Senior Center, I traveled to Anchorage on November 17, 2017 to
accept the new vehicle during a celebration event at Continental Subaru and had the pleasure of
driving the vehicle back to Kenai that evening.
We appreciate the opportunity provided by the City of Kenai, Subaru of America, Inc., and Meals on
Wheels of America to apply for the "Subaru 50 Cars for 50 Years Vehicle Donation" grant and look
forward to utilizing the 2018 Subaru Outback in early January, 2018.
