Share the Love Helps Underserved Moms Across New Jersey - Cacky H.
Moms Helping Moms is grateful for the generous donation and strong partnership with Subaru through its Share the Love commitment. As Subaru World of Hackettstown's hometown charity, MHM has been able to distribute over 2.5 million diapers, period products, and essential baby supplies to underserved families across New Jersey this year. Sharing love from a local mom: "During hard times, even a little help can change a lot in a person's life. Thank you for caring for us moms and our babies."
A Warm Gift in a Cold Winter - Bob F.
Amidst the biting cold of winter, one story exemplifies the profound impact of Subaru's generosity. One of our FPWC families, A devoted grandmother, already facing numerous challenges, was caring for her two young granddaughters. These girls, full of hope and innocence, faced the harsh reality of winter without even a single winter jacket. The family’s limited resources were stretched to the breaking point. When Family Promise of Warren County received Subaru’s generous donation of coats, we knew immediately how to help. The smiles on the faces of this grandmother and her granddaughters as they tried on their new winter jackets were unforgettable. These coats weren’t just fabric—they were a symbol of care, warmth, and community. This act of kindness didn’t stop there. The same donation allowed us to provide warm coats to other children experiencing homelessness, many of whom were living in motels without adequate clothing to protect them from the cold. Each coat represented more than just warmth—it was a sign that someone cared about them and their well-being. Others applying for our homeless prevention and rehousing programs were provided with these new coats thanks to Subaru. Thanks to Subaru's Love Promise, countless families faced the winter season with hope and comfort. Their contribution made a tangible difference in the lives of those most in need, reminding us all of the power of community and compassion. We prioritize respecting our clients' confidentiality, which often limits our ability to share photos. However, we were fortunate to receive permission to share a heartwarming photo of two young boys receiving their coats. Additionally, we have photos capturing the Subaru team delivering the coats to our Day Center. I'd also like to thank Brooke Canty, Business Development Director of Subaru World of Hackettstown (https://www.subaruworldhackettstown.com/), NJ, and Karen Dixon, Programs Manager of Operation Warm (https://www.operationwarm.org/) for their support and efforts.

Potato Found Her Furever! - Alissa S.
Cold Nose Warm Heart paired with Subaru World of Hackettstown for an amazing event on October 7, 2023.

Eli and Jordan were adopted from our event, we were so happy to see these two puppies find their forever homes! We got a lot of attention for some of our adoptable pets from advertising through Subaru at the event as well as via social media and many more went home as a result of this partnership in the days to follow! Our biggest adoption success was our deaf senior chihuahua Potato getting adopted! We have had Potato in foster care for over 4 months and she found her home as a result of our event at Subaru World of Hackettstown! Our partnership doesn't begin and end in October, we have things planned all year through! Please stay tuned for our holiday wish list collaboration and spring event of Cinco de Doggo!

Helping Keep High Quality Cancer Care Close to Home - Lisa D.
Thanks to the generosity of Subaru World of Hackettstown, the Foundation for Hackettstown Medical Center has been able to allocate additional funds to important patient-centered programs and projects here at Hackettstown Medical Center. For example, additional patient treatment areas were recently added to Hackettstown Medical Center's Outpatient Infusion Therapy Center. The Outpatient Infusion Center has never been as busy as it is now, and funding was provided via donations from Subaru's Share the Love campaign and sponsorships from special events such as our Colors for Cancer Fun Run/Walk. This much-needed expansion allows even more patients to receive infusions of chemotherapy, hydration, and antibiotics close to home, in a safe, high-quality, state-of-the-art medical facility. We're proud and grateful to be a charity of choice for Subaru World of Hackettstown's Share the Love Program. Thank you, Subaru, for sharing the love in such meaningful ways for the benefit of your communities!
Subaru World of Hackettststown Shares the Love with Cold Nose Warm Heart! - Alissa S.
Through our partnership with Subaru World of Hackettstown, we adopted out 56 animals throughout the month of October. We also collaborated throughout the year to help our dogs and cats find loving forever homes and spread the word about Subaru and their promise to help the animals! Thanks to the support of Subaru World of Hackettstown, we were able to adopt out 56 dogs and cats during the month of October. It was a huge success! One of our favorite adoption stories from October was Scout! Scout was surrendered to us after an unsuccessful adoption, he was sad and confused. His soon to be new owners arrived at Subaru and told us they could hardly sleep with how excited they were. The only concern was if their dog and Scout would be a match! They hit it off right away! The new owners were delighted and have since sent us many positive updates. It is safe to say that Scout has finally found his furever home! "Scout, now McDuff has been doing great, he is so much fun, the best thing I did. He might be the sweetest dog ever and makes himself comfortable anywhere. He follows me everywhere. He sits, gives paw, lays down and today brought us his harness because he wanted to go on a walk. We are working on stay. We are having so much fun with him and Fredo is a younger version of himself, they are always together." Thank you Subaru World of Hacketsttstown for helping us to find Scout the perfect new home!

Toys for Tots 2021 Teddy Bear Road Rally - Peter S.
December 5, 2021 marked the 31st annual ‘Toys for Tots’ Teddy Bear Road Rally, hosted by Northern New Jersey Region of the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). This year’s sponsor and the sponsor for the past nine years was the Subaru dealership in Hackettstown, New Jersey. Over 90 individuals in forty-one (41) vehicles attended this year’s event and help raise over $1,500 in toys for the USMC Reserve Toys for Tots Program. Over the last thirty-one year the event has raised close to $30,000 in toys for the program. The Teddy Bear Car Rally is the longest running charity rally associated with the SCCA and the longest running event hosted by Northern New Jersey Region. ‘Toys for Tots’ began in 1947, when Major Bill Hendricks, and a group of Marine Reservists in Los Angeles collected and distributed 5,000 toys to needy children. The idea came from Bill’s wife, Diane. In the fall of 1947, Diane crafted a homemade doll and asked Bill to deliver the doll to an organization, which would give it to a needy child at Christmas. When Bill determined that no agency existed, Diane told Bill that he should start one. He did. The 1947 pilot project was so successful that the Marine Corps adopted ‘Toys for Tots’ in 1948 and expanded it into a nationwide campaign. For more information about the event or car rallying in general, please feel free to contact Peter Schneider at NJRALLYE@AOL.COM
Subaru of Hackettstown Cares! - Alissa S.
We were so excited to have an onsite adoption event after the past 1 1/2 years of not being able to have public events. The energy and enthusiasm the team of Subaru World of Hackettstown exuded was amazing. They went above in beyond in marketing the event and getting to know each of our dogs. You can tell they really cared and wanted to help each and every one of them get adopted. They formulated a plan for continued help with adoptions after the events were over to help find homes for the harder to adopt dogs as well. We are so appreciative of their teamwork! It takes a village and we are glad to have Subaru World of Hackettstown as part of ours :)
Did Subaru World of Hackettstown go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
