Waikem Subaru Helps 'Share the Love' With Our Clients

Waikem Subaru in Massillon once again showed their support for Meals On Wheels of Stark & Wayne Counties on Wednesday, Dec. 14, as two Waikem associates delivered meals for the agency as part of this year's Subaru "Share the Love" Event.

Waikem Subaru salesman Pat Barthel and employee Sid Bender (L to R in photo) joined our regular volunteers and delivered meals to clients in the Massillon area. They drove a Subaru Forester from Waikem during the delivery.

Waikem and Meals On Wheels have a long-standing relationship and have partnered in a variety of ways over the years, and we appreciate their ongoing support. We're currently working with Waikem to facilitate their involvement with a major fundraising event for the agency in 2012.

Our thanks to the Waikem family and to Bob Russell, sales manager at Waikem Subaru, for their support of Meals On Wheels!
