Worcester Animal Rescue League Premium Donation - Gabriel B
The time has come once again for our second annual Premium Pre-Owned donation to our incredible mission partner, the Worcester Animal Rescue League! The Worcester Animal Rescue League has been a trusted safe haven for animals in need for over a century. Their mission is to provide compassion, shelter, and care for every animal that turns to them for help, while also offering resources and education for the people who love them. They ensure that their adoptable animals have the time and space they need to find the right forever home, without ever placing time limits on their care. For the past 2 years, Patrick Subaru has proudly made a donation for every pre-owned vehicle sold, and this year, we are honored to present $14,110 to the Worcester Animal Rescue League. This gift will help them continue providing safe shelter, medical care, and loving attention to animals until they find their new families. In just two years, our Premium Pre-Owned program has contributed just under $29,000 towards its mission. None of this would be possible without the amazing support of our customers, our community, and our dedicated team. Together, we’re helping make a difference right here at home.

"Fill The SUV" Juniper Helps Food Drive - Gabriel B
Juniper Helps is a local non-profit organization focused on distributing food through local schools to provide supplies to in-need students and families. To accomplish their mission, they have eight food pantries, each located at a different public school in the Worcester area, making it quick and easy for families to pick up supplies! To support Juniper Helps in its mission, we organized a food drive that encouraged our team, friends, and local community members to come together and make a difference. We set a goal of filling an SUV with supplies consisting of non-perishable food items, toiletries, and other everyday necessities. The response was overwhelming throughout the drive, and seeing how united our community could become was inspiring! We were able to accomplish our goal of filling the SUV with essentials, which we delivered directly to one of the Juniper Helps food pantries in Worcester. Seeing the volunteers and students smile made all our efforts worthwhile. It was a powerful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together for a common goal.

Keeping 204 More Kids Warm This Winter With Operation Warm - Michelle B
This January, the Patrick Subaru team took a trip to Youth Villages in Marlborough to donate 204 brand new winter coats in partnership with Subaru of America, Inc. and Operation Warm as part of the Subaru Loves To Help initiative. During the bitter Massachusetts winter months, we are proud to be able to support kids and young adults in our community in need. The Patrick Subaru team was able to help sort the coats into custom arrangements for some of the families, helping to connect the team even further with the mission of Subaru Loves to Help. This small gesture made this more than just a simple "drop off" - our team was able to connect with the families in need by learning a small bit about them and picking their coats out personally. The Youth Villages team also took time to share stories about last year’s coat donation and how the Subaru Love Promise is making a difference.

Fueling the Future: Patrick Subaru and Subaru of New England Partner with QCC - Michelle B
In collaboration with Subaru of New England, Patrick Subaru proudly donated a short block engine and a CVT transmission to the Quinsigamond Community College (QCC) Automotive Division. This contribution gives students the chance to work hands-on with real Subaru components, helping them develop the skills needed to succeed in the ever-evolving automotive industry. Patrick Subaru Parts Manager, Ben Suffoletto, highlighted the importance of the donation: "I think it's important to support places like the QCC automotive department because it helps develop the kids’ skills and abilities. It helps grow the business as we're moving forward with the new technology that's coming out, and gives them an opportunity to get into some of that technology and understand it better." This partnership reflects the commitment of Subaru and Patrick Subaru to invest in education and innovation. By providing access to modern automotive technology, we're helping students prepare for rewarding careers and strengthening the future of the industry. Through initiatives like this, the Subaru Love Promise is brought to life by supporting local communities and fostering the next generation of automotive professionals.
