meals for 135 people, Garnavos
said. “The meal included prime
rib, chicken, pasta for kids and
spreads of appetizers and a sweet
table.”
“It’s not easy to peel potatoes,”
Garnavos added.
The idea is that Subaru people
and the House families sit down
together in a direct experience. For
us, it’s not just about the funds we
donate but in the Home for Dinner
program, it’s an active one-on-one

come together, stories are shared and
friendships blossom. “It gives us a night
off, a chance to not worry about pulling
together a healthy meal for our family
after a long day at the hospital,” one

feel so lonely.”

administrative coordinator, Subaru
Canada headquarters, “This is really

year and we look forward to it. The
winter meal is indoors and in July,
we have a barbecue.”
