New vehicle donated to local Meals on Wheels Program
(KMZA)--The Nemaha County Meals on Wheels Program has been donated a brand new vehicle.
County Senior Services Director Diane Yunghans says they were given a 2018 Subaru Outback from Subaru of America in celebration of the company’s 50 years in the United States.
The new vehicle was unveiled Monday at the Seneca Nutrition Center and put to use Tuesday.
Well, it's going to be the lifeline of our program, because these vehicles deliver meals to our seniors here in Nemaha County. It couldn't have came at a more critical time because one of our two vehicles had broke down, and had to be towed, so it was perfect timing for us.", said Yunghans.
In celebration of their 50th anniversary, Subaru of America donated 50 new 2018 Subaru Outback vehicles to select Meals on Wheels programs throughout the country.
The company says the vehicles will be used in the delivery of an estimated 53,000 meals to an additional 3,700 seniors across 39 states.
The company says the donation will address the Meals on Wheels network's growing demand for fuel-efficient, versatile and safe delivery vehicles to enable the nation's most vulnerable seniors to live nourished lives with independence and dignity.
