Everyone has value - Kevin Q
Subaru Hunt Valley Extends Compassion Beyond Our Community At Subaru Hunt Valley, we believe in being a people-first business — one that lives out the Subaru Love Promise not only within our immediate community, but wherever compassion is needed most. Recently, our team put that belief into action by organizing an outreach trip to Kensington Avenue in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania — an area known for its ongoing struggle with addiction and homelessness. In a world where we have all been impacted by someone we know, who has been impacted by addiction, we wanted to help in some way. Preparing to Make a Difference In the weeks leading up to the trip, our team came together to collect essential items including clothing, shoes, blankets, food, first aid supplies, Narcan (used to reverse opioid overdoses), and hydration essentials like water and Gatorade. We also partnered with a local church that generously prepared over 400 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to help us feed those in need. Serving with Love and Purpose Led by our General Manager, Kevin Quinn, a 25-person volunteer team traveled to Philadelphia to distribute supplies, administer first aid, and offer encouragement and compassion. In a single day, our team provided support to more than 300 people — giving out over 30 pairs of shoes, 100 pairs of pants, 200 sweatshirts, 500 pairs of socks, 400 sandwiches, 500 bottles of water, and 150 Gatorades. Each person we met also received doses of Narcan — potentially lifesaving medication that could help them or someone they know in the event of an overdose. Beyond meeting physical needs, our goal was to remind every individual that they are seen, valued, and not forgotten. Everyone needs to know this about themselves, especially everyone we met that day. Lives Impacted and Hope Restored As the day went on, our team split into smaller groups to reach those deeper in the neighborhood — delivering food, water, and care directly to individuals living on the streets. We also worked alongside a point person offering access to free in-patient treatment programs for anyone ready to take the next step toward recovery. Through these personal conversations, more than 40 individuals expressed interest in seeking help, and three made the courageous decision to begin treatment that very day. For us, even one life changed makes every effort worthwhile — and knowing that three people chose a path toward healing made the entire trip unforgettable. One of those individuals shared that he had once been a successful professional whose life changed after a serious car accident led to prescription opioid dependence. Over time, addiction took hold and brought him to Kensington Avenue — a place he never imagined he would be. Thanks to the compassion of those who cared enough to show up, he entered treatment and is now doing well in recovery. His story is a powerful reminder that anyone can fall, but everyone deserves the chance to rise again. The Heart of the Subaru Love Promise Our experience in Philadelphia reaffirmed what we believe at Subaru Hunt Valley: that love, hope, and humanity can change lives. We are proud to continue being where the rubber meets the road — reaching out to those who are struggling, reminding them that their lives have value, that they belong, and that the world is a better place because they are in it. Even one life changed makes every effort worthwhile. That’s the heart of the Subaru Love Promise — and it’s what drives us every day.

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.

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.
