Continental Subaru Shares the Love with Anchorage’s Catholic Social Services
April 29th, 2016
The fastest growing homeless segment in our nation is women with young children and the second most traumatic event that can happen in a child’s life is being homeless.
Last November and December, Continental Subaru chose two Anchorage Catholic Social Services’ (CSS) programs to benefit from Subaru of America’s Share the Love campaign: Clare House and Charlie Elder House.
Women who find themselves homeless are in crisis. Their primary concern is finding food, shelter and clothing for themselves and their children. Anchorage’s Clare House provides a 24-hour, safe and warm emergency shelter and meets basic needs for women with children and expectant mothers for up to 30 days.
Charlie Elder House provides housing for homeless, teenage boys. In the house, boys learn to live independently and learn life skills such as setting short term goals; learning to cook; find a job, etc. Residents of Charlie Elder House are expected to make high school graduation (or obtaining a GED) a priority and are encouraged to contribute back to the community.
On April 27th, Continental Subaru presented Anchorage’s Archbishop Schweitz; Catholic Social Services Directors and Staff; a combined total of $43,000 for these two Catholic Social Services programs:
Our dedicated Continental Subaru team and our loyal Subaru customers are proud to provide our community members with resources that truly make impactful and meaningful differences in the Anchorage community.
- Clare House - $28,000
- Charlie Elder House - $15,000
Because it’s about Love – and it’s what makes a Subaru.
