Subaru Sponsors of "Parks and Recreation Reunion Special," a charitable telecast

Back in April, Subaru of America announced they, along with the Subaru network of 633 retailers nationwide, will continue their commitment to supporting people affected by the COVID-19 pandemic by helping to provide 50 million meals to Feeding America®. Now, Subaru of America has furthered their support to Feeding America®, by sponsoring NBC and Universal Television’s charitable telecast “A Parks and Recreation Special,” and will match consumer donations, up to $150,000, to benefit Feeding America®’s COVID-19 Response Fund.
 

Matching donations from State Farm®, NBCUniversal and the writers, producers and cast of “Parks and Recreation,” a combined total of $500,000 in matching donations, will be made through May 21. Funds raised from the telecast will go directly to Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund, allowing food banks to secure the resources they need to serve those most effected by the virus. "A Parks and Recreation Special” is set to air Thursday, April 30 at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT. 

Subaru’s sponsorship of the “Parks and Recreation” special follows its significant partnership with Feeding America to help provide 50 million meals to people most impacted by COVID-19. As the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization with a nationwide network of 200-member food banks, the automaker, along with its retailers, is providing crucial assistance to help communities hit hardest by the pandemic get back on their feet.
