Advocate, Donate & Participate: Fighting Food Insecurity in Central PA
At W&L Subaru, our commitment to ending hunger across Central Pennsylvania goes far beyond a financial contribution. Our dealership team regularly travels to the Central Pennsylvania Food Bank's Williamsport distribution hub to roll up our sleeves. Through hands-on volunteer days, W&L Subaru staff pack hundreds of food boxes for the MilitaryShare program—a critical effort supplying fresh produce, eggs, dairy, and essential pantry items directly to veterans, active military members, and their families at local armories and VFWs.
Across Central PA, over 9% of households relying on charitable food assistance include a military service member. They fought for our country, and by helping ensure their families have wholesome meals on the table, we are supporting their future.
"Why did we get involved? The more appropriate question was: why not? These individuals and families are our neighbors in Northumberland, Columbia, Montour, and Lycoming counties, and supporting our community is at the heart of everything we do at W&L Subaru."
