Sharing The Love With Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - Ezeckial M
Thursday, July 10th, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Mid-Atlantic region teamed up with AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley to deliver something special to the young patients at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center soft, cozy blankets and handwritten messages of encouragement, all part of the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. Each blanket came with a personal note written by AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley customers and staff simple messages filled with love, strength, and hope. Some were just a few kind words, others shared uplifting thoughts, but all were written from the heart. These small gestures carried big meaning, offering a bit of comfort to families going through incredibly tough times. The team at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center welcomed the donation with open arms, and the gratitude on both sides was truly moving. It wasn’t just about giving blankets it was about showing up for these kids and their families, letting them know their community cares. We’re so thankful to everyone at AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley for their generosity, kindness, and dedication to helping others. And to the amazing staff at Johns Hopkins Children’s Center thank you for the incredible work you do every day. Moments like these remind us what community really means, and how even the smallest act of care can have a lasting impact.
AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley Teams Up to Support Local Community - Nate R
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Cockeysville, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/20/2025, AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley donated 120 coats to Destined for Greatness Mentoring & Outreach Program. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
Arby Day Foundation - Ezeckial M
Every tree tells a story That’s why we’re proud to team up with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant thousands of them across the country helping rebuild forests, protect wildlife, and create cleaner air for all of us. It’s not just about planting trees. It’s about planting hope, future shade, and a better tomorrow. Because loving the Earth is part of who we are. #SubaruLovesTheEarth #ArborDayFoundation #LoveTheEarth #SubaruLovePromise #DoGoodFeelGood
OPERATION WARM - KEVIN Q
To say that Operation Warm had a huge impact on me and the staff, and this is why: There was 1 child in particular who was walking down the street wearing a t-shirt in 19-degree weather in slippers. We were yelling for her to come over, but she was resistant to do so. One of the Operation Warm workers ran across a very busy street to get her and brought her to our table to get a coat. We thought that was the last of our encounter with this young girl. As we had wrapped up and brought everything inside, one of the OW workers went to check outside to make sure we didn't miss anything, when she went outside, the girl had returned with her little brother and grandmother. Her little brother, who was about 4 years old, was in tears because he thought we were gone. The OW worker told them all to come inside so that he could get a coat. When he came in, he was excited, however, that excitement only lasted a few moments. He wanted a green coat, we did not have one in his size, and as most 4-year-olds would react, he began to cry again. We franticly looked for a green coat and were able to find one, but it was a size too big. We had him try it on and, although it was too big, it wasn't too big to prevent him from being overjoyed. Those tears immediately were erased and were replaced with joy and his smile warmed the entire room. The Grandmother was so thankful and explained that she was taking care of her grandchildren and did not have the means to be able to provide them with the essentials they needed for the cold weather. As someone who has never worked for Subaru, to experience this firsthand, has changed my perception of Subaru's Love Promise and why Subaru does what it does through these different organizations to make an impact to the community in such a positive way. Having such a "People First" mission is such a great way for a manufacturer to reach the local communities.
AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley Sponsors 5K “Santa Run” to Support Local Youth Ministry - Kevin Q
On December 14th, AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley proudly sponsored a 5K “Santa Run” to benefit a local church youth ministry. This annual event brings the community together to raise funds for teenagers that will attend this year's WinterFest, a weekend-long church service in Ocean City, MD. Thanks to the funds raised during this year’s run, 12 teenagers who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to attend will now have their trip fully covered. As someone who personally experienced the life-changing impact of WinterFest during my teenage years, this cause is very close to my heart. The event provided me with a sense of hope and community that has stayed with me to this day. Years later, as an adult chaperone, I witnessed the transformation this event had on the next generation. In addition, based on the personal testimonies, which included suicidal thoughts, no purpose of life, feelings of abandonment, left the weekend filled with hope, joy, and a renewed sense of purpose moving forward. Many of them found lasting friendships and support systems that continued long after the event ended. These stories and experiences are why we chose this fundraiser as part of our Share the Love Promise for December. We believe in investing in our community and making a difference in the lives of young people. Together, we can help provide these teenagers with a memorable and life-changing experience.

These comforting gifts were accompanied by personalized messages of hope written by customers and staff at AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley.

Subaru Loves to Help - Alexis B
For this years Subaru Loves to Help, we had the pleasure of partnering up with Tangi, the Founder of Destined for Greatness to hand coats out to under-privileged children. There were quite the number of smiles, laughs, food, and most importantly, coats! It was the perfect time for families to swing by and pick up their brand-new coat for their children, with how snowy and cold it was on Monday, January 15th. It was still a fantastic turn out! We greatly look forward to partnering with Tangi and Destined for Greatness in the near future for Subaru Loves to Help and the possibility for other Subaru charity events! Thank you to everyone else who came out and supported the children!
Mischief's Happy Ending - Christine R
Beautiful Mischief had the odds stacked against her upon arriving to Lab Rescue LRCP in September 2022. She was recovering from emergency surgery for a serious and life-threatening infection of her uterus when she arrived at Lab Rescue. As she began to heal from her surgery, she struggled to gain weight. After several rounds of tests and imaging, we learned that Mischief had an inoperable tumor in her stomach. She would need a hospice adoption; while she wasn’t acting sick, there was no way to know for sure how much time she had left. Mischief is also an 11 year old senior, cannot live with cats or dogs, and she can climb a six foot vertical fence (to chase small critters). Any of these facts individually make it considerably more challenging to find an adopter, but all of them combined left her rescuers wondering just how long she would have to wait. The Lab Rescue's leadership, adoption coordinators, and social media team implemented many strategies to find Mischief's forever family. While she had incredibly loving foster homes and occasional interest from potential adopters, Mischief continued to wait for her happy ending. Then more than a year after Mischief was first rescued, Lab Rescue partnered with AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley for an adoption event on October 14, 2023 at the dealership in Cockeysville, MD. Mischief packed up her favorite toys and leash, and we hoped her sweet, playful personality, top-notch counter-cleaning ability, expert cuddling skills, and her unconditional love for her humans would help her find an adopter who would say, “Yes. We will love you forever, no matter how short forever might be.” With the help of Subaru the odds were in her favor because to meet her is to love her. Mischief and 13 other dogs arrived to AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley for our adoption event, despite the rainy weather, and chilly temperature. Mischief, like the other dogs in attendance, was thrilled that so many people were there to love on her. And then she locked eyes with the woman who would become her forever. After discussing all Mischief’s needs and her hospice diagnosis, it was official. Three hundred ninety days after she was rescued, Mischief found her forever family - with a Subaru employee! Now a month later, Mischief’s family reports that she is doing great. She’s still her happy self, and remains well, despite her on-going medical challenge. We know if Mischief could speak for herself she would thank everyone at AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley. Lab Rescue LRCP is grateful for the our partnership with Subaru, and AutoNation Subaru Hunt Valley in particular. The life-changing work we are able to accomplish together helped us send Mischief and 49 other dogs to forever homes in October. Thank you, Subaru! Together we made many a dog's day.
Subaru Loves Pets - Alexis B
On October 14th, we partnered with the Lab Rescue of Maryland for Subaru loves Pets, to give the underdogs who typically get over looked find their forever homes. Although this was a very rainy, cold day, almost half of these lab's were adopted, including one that was here last year. Mischief is a lab who is currently undergoing a terminal illness, and she has now found her forever home with one of our sales associates. Our goal next year is to make sure all of these dogs get adopted!
