SUBMIT A STORYProviding comfort, hope, and confidence to children in urgent need
Subaru and its retailers partner with Operation Warm® to visit local homeless shelters and support agencies to provide children with brand-new necessities like coats, shoes, and socks.
These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, they can also have a significant impact on a child’s mental and emotional well-being.
Through this partnership and other historical Subaru Loves to Help efforts, Subaru and retailers like us will have supported over 1 million children and adults in urgent need nationwide.
At Subaru, we believe what we leave behind is a reflection of who we are. That’s why Subaru and our retailers partner with the Arbor Day Foundation (TM) to provide and distribute 100,000 regionally appropriate trees across the country. We’re proud to establish the largest corporate tree distribution ever. Through this and other Subaru Loves the Earth initiatives, Subaru and our retailers have helped distribute and plant over 1.1 million trees.
Subaru believes we should all have a chance to lead a healthy life. That’s why for over 10 years, Subaru and its retailers like us have partnered with Blood Cancer United® and our local hospital to give warm blankets and encouraging messages of hope, written by our employees and customers, to support our community members living with cancer. Through our combined efforts during this partnership, we have supported over 550,000 cancer patients nationwide. Together, we are proud to be Blood Cancer United’s largest automotive donor.
Subaru and its retailers, like us, are continuing our support of education and high-needs schools in our communities through Subaru Loves Learning(R) by providing teachers across the country with funding to purchase the school supplies and resources they know are needed to help students thrive in the classroom. Through our partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru and its retailers have supported more than 950,000 students nationwide and are proud to be their largest corporate supporter.
Subaru believes all pets deserve a loving home. That's why retailers like us partner with our local animal welfare organization every October to provide direct financial assistance through a grant distributed by the ASPCA® and host pet events to help animals find loving homes. Through our partnership with local and national organizations, Subaru has donated over $70 million, supporting the rescue, adoption, and health of over 700,000 animals. We're proud to be the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA.
Subaru and its retailers believe in giving back to our communities. That's why for every new vehicle sold or leased during the Subaru Share the Love event, Subaru and its retailers, like us, makes a donation to national charities that our owners care about and to over 2,700 local charities where Subaru owners live and work.
Now, after 17 years, Subaru and our retailers have donated nearly $320 million to charity all to give back and to make the world a better place.
At Moore Subaru of Richmond we believe that we have the responsibility to give back to the community. Love promise is a great vehicle that helps us to connect and support important, locally grounded organizations that keep us engaged in the community. Thanks for the opportunity Richmond!
Richmond SPCA
R.C. Longan Elementary School
Subaru and Moore Subaru Richmond believe in making a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work. We uphold that belief through our Love Promise Community Commitment. Every month, we select inspiring stories from customers and partners from around our area who strive to support our collective commitment and feature them here.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Moore Subaru of Richmond for their continued partnership and generous support during Teacher Appreciation Week. The delicious Chick-fil-A meal you provided was truly enjoyed by our teachers and staff, bringing smiles and a much-appreciated moment of celebration to our school community. Your thoughtfulness and commitment mean so much to us. Moore Subaru of Richmond is simply wonderful, and the students and staff at R.C. Longan Elementary greatly appreciate your unwavering support and partnership.
The Moore Subaru of Richmond team continues to demonstrate what true community partnership looks like. Through this year's Subaru Share the Love Event, Moore Subaru presented the Richmond SPCA with an extraordinary $43,000 gift that will directly support the nearly 4,000 pets who come into our care each year — many sick, injured, vulnerable, or in urgent need of lifesaving services. Beyond this impactful campaign, Moore Subaru's commitment to our mission is felt year-round through their generous leadership support as title sponsor of Fur Ball and block party sponsor of Dog Jog. Their investment helps sustain not only our adoption and sheltering programs, but also our low-cost full-service veterinary hospital, high-volume spay/neuter clinic, and pet retention initiatives that keep families and pets together. Moore Subaru is, without question, one of the most compassionate and dedicated corporate partners our organization has ever known, and we are deeply grateful for their continued belief in our work and the animals and people we serve together.
The Richmond SPCA hosted its 24th annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party on Saturday, March 21. Tails wagged, people cheered, and the excitement of race day quickly grew into something even more meaningful. As the presenting sponsor of the Block Party, Moore Subaru helped transform the Richmond SPCA campus into a lively celebration. What could have been a simple post-race gathering instead became a vibrant, welcoming space where the community came together to connect and continue supporting the Richmond SPCA's mission. With live entertainment to get the crowd pumped, the Block Party buzzed with excitement and gave attendees every reason to stay, celebrate and give back. Subaru's presence was felt throughout — from the friendly Moore Subaru team connecting with attendees to interactive experiences like the Dog Kissing Booth and more. These thoughtful touches created joyful moments that brought people and pets closer together while deepening connections to the Richmond SPCA's lifesaving work. What began as a race grew into a true communitywide celebration fueled by compassion and generosity. Proceeds from the Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party help the Richmond SPCA save the lives of more than 4,000 homeless pets each year. These funds also support vital programs that assist thousands of pets and people in the community, including a free pet pantry, behavior helpline, full-service low-cost veterinary hospital, low-cost and free spay and neuter clinic, crisis boarding and more. Moore Subaru didn't just sponsor an event — they helped create an experience that served as a powerful catalyst for lifesaving support.
We are honored to recognize Moore Subaru as our Mission Chariot Sponsor for this year’s Richmond Light The Night! Their commitment to making a difference helps fuel our mission to bring light to the darkness of cancer. On November 1, more than 1,000 participants came together with one shared purpose: to celebrate, remember, and honor patients and families impacted by blood cancer. It was a powerful day of unity and hope and proof that when we join forces, we can create meaningful change. Every step we take brings us closer to a cure. This progress is possible because of the generosity and partnership of organizations like Subaru, who stand with us in the fight against blood cancer. Thank you, Subaru, for helping us drive hope forward and for being a champion for patients, families, and the future we all believe in.
The Richmond SPCA held its 27th annual Fur Ball on Saturday, November 1 and the evening was nothing short of extraordinary. The evening brought in more than $850,000 to provide lifesaving medical care for the thousands of homeless pets who will come through the doors of the Richmond SPCA in the year ahead. This remarkable achievement was made possible in large part thanks to the heartfelt commitment of our presenting sponsor, Moore Subaru of Richmond. Moore Subaru’s devotion to animal welfare is long standing and their leadership at this year’s Fur Ball reflected that. Through their generosity and partnership, Subaru helped bring together hundreds of dedicated supporters to celebrate and strengthen the Richmond SPCA’s mission. Their presence not only elevated the evening but also helped ensure that the Richmond SPCA can continue delivering vital medical treatment, rehabilitation, and compassionate care to pets with nowhere else to turn, including animals like Tammi Lee, shown in the attachment. Tammy Lee’s inspiring journey began when she was transferred to the Richmond SPCA from Lunenburg County Animal Control, arriving with a bilateral knee condition and a congenital kneecap dislocation. Thanks to the skilled team at James River Veterinary Surgery, a dedicated partner of the Richmond SPCA, Tammi Lee received the knee-stabilizing procedure she needed and has since made an incredible recovery. Subaru’s unwavering commitment to compassion and animal welfare made this year’s Fur Ball an evening defined by purpose and generosity.
We want to extend our sincerest gratitude to Moore Subaru for their continued, invaluable partnership with R.C. Longan Elementary School. Your generous donations of instructional resources are instrumental in enriching our students' educational journey, providing our teachers with the essential tools they need to foster a vibrant and effective learning environment. This enduring commitment demonstrates your deep investment in our community's future, and we look forward to many more years of working together to empower our young learners. Thank you for making such a meaningful difference!
We had a fabulous morning with the Moore Subaru team at VCU, delivering cozy blankets to blood cancer patients at VCU. Moore Subaru has been a proud partner with Blood Cancer United (formerly LLS) for many years, and their dedication to patients and families in RVA is truly inspiring. Their support helps bring comfort today and hope for tomorrow and we’re so thankful to keep driving forward together! 💛
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 Richmond, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Moore Subaru 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 Moore Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 02/21/2025, Moore Subaru donated 408 coats to YMCA of Greater Richmond. 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.
A huge thank you is in order to our incredible friends at Moore Subaru for raising an astounding $39,485 for the pets in our care during this winter’s Subaru Share the Love Event! Thanks to their generosity — and the support of a compassionate community — countless homeless animals at the Richmond SPCA will receive the love, medical care and second chances they deserve. We are blown away by Moore Subaru’s continued commitment to our mission and the lifesaving impact they help make possible.
Our partners at Moore Subaru graced us with an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING smorgasbord of yummy food for Teacher Appreciation Week! They certainly know the way to an educator's heart! THANK YOU for your continued partnership and support! It means the world to us at R.C. Longan Elementary!
We are incredibly grateful to Moore Subaru Richmond for making our 23rd Annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party such a fun, free and unforgettable experience for our entire community! Thanks to their generous sponsorship of the Block Party, families (and their pups!) from all over were able to enjoy a day packed with festivities—without spending a dime. From live music and more than 50 local vendors and artisans, to an agility course for dogs, a dog kissing booth, pup cups, face painting, and crafts for kids—there was truly something for everyone. Moore Subaru’s support kept the event accessible, family-centered and dog-friendly. Their continued partnership allows us to raise critical funds for the more than 4,000 homeless pets we care for each year. We were able to raise over $215,000 for the Richmond SPCA’s lifesaving programs and services thanks to their support!
At Moore Subaru, we’re always ready to step up and support our communities, especially in times of crisis. This commitment is at the heart of the Subaru Love Promise®. When Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated the Eastern region, Subaru retailers like us immediately sprang into action. Alongside other Subaru retailers, Subaru of America, and local organizations, we assessed the most urgent needs in the affected areas. It quickly became clear that local food banks were struggling to keep up with the surge in demand as they worked to support people hit hardest by the storms. In response, we teamed up with 67 Subaru retailers across the region to launch a $400,000 match campaign to aid the hurricane relief efforts of Feeding America®. Moore Subaru proudly contributed $5000 to this initiative. While the immediate impact of the storms fades from the headlines, many of our neighbors continue to face long-term challenges like food insecurity, water shortages, power outages, and limited access to essential services. Thanks to the collective generosity of Subaru retailers and the communities we serve, an additional $18,427 was raised. This brings the total impact to $418,427, or over 4,100,000 meals for those in need. "As one of the nation's largest disaster relief organizations, the Feeding America network of food banks and partner agencies is deeply rooted in communities across the country. Together, our partnership with trusted Subaru dealers has helped expedite emergency food assistance and supplies to people who need it most. We are immensely grateful," said Feeding America Chief Development Officer Casey Marsh.
The 26th Annual Fur Ball was a record-breaking evening thanks to Moore Subaru. They remain steadfast in their commitment to helping save the lives of our most vulnerable cats and dogs at our humane center. Money raised at our beloved gala supports our "Cinderella Fund," which provides essential medical care for pets—from adult animals to neonatal puppies and kittens—that extends beyond the standard vaccinations and sterilization procedures. This special fund will help us to save the lives of over 3,500 animals that will come into our care this upcoming year. For these pets, we are often their last chance at finding their forever home. Moore Subaru not only presented this year’s event, but also showed their support by bringing friends and employees to celebrate together. We extend our deepest gratitude to Moore Subaru for helping us save countless lives of these precious animals and provide hope to these pets in need.
Our friends at Moore Subaru invited the Richmond SPCA to their showroom last Friday, October 19th for an adoption event to promote Subaru Loves Pets month. Shelter pets Demi (hound) and Humphrey (a deaf, senior pittie mix) joined the Moore Subaru team for the afternoon where they explored the new Crosstrek and begged associates for treats between visiting with service and sales clients.
R.C. Longan Elementary is delighted to partner with Moore Subaru by receiving monetary and supply donations to support student learning. Representatives from Moore Subaru visited the school in September to bring much needed supply kits for our students and teachers. Additionally, Moore Subaru contributed monetary donations to support exceptional education and English language acquisition. We win with partnerships and Moore Subaru is the best!
On Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024, the LLS North Carolina-Virginia Region had the opportunity to help Moore Subaru Richmond deliver 80 blankets to VCU Massey Cancer Center as part of the Subaru Loves to Care program. The blankets were accompanied by personalized messages of hope written by customers in the Richmond community and staff of Moore Subaru Richmond. These gifts were warmly received by the staff and patients, with staff showing their excitement as they know how much these gifts of love and support are appreciated. It was a wonderful day and heartfelt thanks to Moore Subaru Richmond for joining the LLS mission to create a world without blood cancer.
The Richmond SPCA is grateful for everything that Moore Subaru Richmond does to help the homeless pets in our care. Their generous and continued partnership helps to make our community a better place to work and live. During this year’s 22nd Annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party, Moore Subaru sponsored our Block Party. Their sponsorship keeps this a free, fun, family-centered community event that is, of course, dog-friendly. The day included all sorts of fun and FREE activities for humans and their four-legged companions. The event featured 45+ local vendors and artisans in our outdoor marketplace, a live band, an agility course for dogs, a dog kissing booth, pup cups, face painting, crafts for kids and much more. Moore Subaru helped us raise over $211,000 for the 4,000 furry friends that we care for each year, as well as the lifesaving programs and services that the Richmond SPCA provides to our community.
Our dear friends at Moore Subaru of Richmond donated a BRAND NEW Subaru Outback to the Richmond SPCA. In addition, they paid to have the car wrapped. This much-needed vehicle will be used for small animal transports, outbound humane education visits, and to run errands that support our shelter's lifesaving activities.
On behalf of Big Brothers Big Sisters, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Moore Subaru and Operation Warm for their incredibly generous donation of 347 coats. This invaluable contribution will provide warmth and comfort to matched children, their siblings, and waitlist youth across the Greater Richmond, Tri-Cities, Virginia Peninsula, and Hampton Roads territories. Your dedication to our mission and commitment to serving the community is truly inspiring. With your support, we can continue to ignite the potential within every child we serve. Thank you, Moore Subaru, for your unwavering generosity and for making a significant difference in the lives of those we serve.
As corporate sponsors of the Richmond SPCA's 25th annual Fur Ball, Moore Subaru showed up for the most vulnerable pets in our humane center. The fundraiser specifically supports our "Cinderella Fund," which covers medical treatment for pets—from adult animals to neonatal puppies and kittens—beyond the standard vaccinations and sterilization. In the last fiscal year, the Cinderella Fund came to the rescue of more than 3,500 (of the 4,000+ pets who came into the care of the Richmond SPCA). Moore Subaru not only supported the Fur Ball as the official dinner sponsor, but they also brought an entourage of friends and employees to celebrate and support the event. The evening wouldn't have been complete without a stroll down the red carpet from the outgoing Richmond SPCA mascots, Willa and Nita, two adorable dogs belonging to Joe and Deanna Moore. We are eternally grateful to Moore Subaru for their unyielding support for the underdogs (and cats) at the Richmond SPCA. With their support, we raised nearly 2/3 of the funds needed to fuel the Cinderella Fund in the coming year, which will help to save the lives of thousands more.
Moore Subaru is a faithful friend to animals in the care of the Richmond SPCA. During the October 2023 Subaru Loves Pets initiative, their support helped us find lasting, loving homes for 447 cats and dogs. For many animals in our care, their path to an adoptive home can be a long one because they arrive with illnesses and injuries requiring extensive veterinary care before they are ready for adoption. Moore Subaru is there for them throughout this journey as a corporate sponsor of our Fur Ball. The 25th annual benefit for the Richmond SPCA’s Cinderella Fund, was attended by 375 guests and 50 volunteers on Saturday, November 4 at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond. Proceeds of the Fur Ball will treat the medical needs of more than 3,500 pets in the year ahead. Subaru Loves Pets month kicked off with the heartwarming adoption of Duchess on October 1. The Cinderella Fund provided specialty orthopedic surgery in August to help her recover from a painful break of her left hip. She continued physical therapy in a loving foster home before meeting her match in Carly and Nick Wytas. Duchess formed a fast friendship with the family’s resident dog, and they say she is the perfect addition. At this year’s Fur Ball, Moore Subaru President Joe Moore shared the news that his dealership will donate a 2023 Subaru Solterra to the Richmond SPCA. The vehicle will let staff take dogs like Duchess to specialty medical appointments and local media stations to promote pet adoption.
Moore Subaru continues to go above and beyond to support patients with blood cancer! The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) partnered for another amazing year with Moore Subaru to give local patients battling a cancer diagnosis love, hope, and warmth with a donation of 80 blankets and messages of hope. LLS is grateful to Moore Subaru for their year-round commitment to give back to the communities they serve. Every 3 minutes, someone in the U.S. is diagnosed with a blood cancer. Together, we want to help courageous members of our community, and their families who are facing cancer. Thank you, Moore Subaru, for joining the fight against cancer with us!
Thank you to Rocco, Billy and the entire Moore Subaru Richmond team for their continued support! Billy and Rocco were kind enough to hand deliver numerous boxes of much needed thick blue socks. These will help those who are in need of keeping warm during those colder days and nights. We appreciate their continuous support! HomeAgain is one of Richmond’s oldest homeless services organizations. For more than four decades HomeAgain has been running emergency shelters and community housing programs aimed at giving neighbors experiencing a housing crisis the tools they need to get and stay safely housed.
FETCH a Cure is a 501 ©(3) non-profit organization focused on improving the quality of life for our pets. Working with pet owners and the veterinary community, FETCH is furthering pet cancer awareness, education, and treatment. Our vision is simple: A community where no one is denied a choice for their pet’s health due to lack of options, education or funding. We provide financial aid to families unable to bear the cost of the life-saving treatments for their pets that have been diagnosed with cancer through the Companions in Crisis program. FETCH continues to work towards providing more accessible treatment options for all within our community. Moore Subaru Richmond has been a strong supporter of our mission and programs and goes above and beyond to make sure that Richmond pet owners have access to and funding for cancer treatment. They have one of our signature steel dog sculptures in their show room that tells their patrons that not only do they financially support our mission, but it serves a reminder that all patrons should check their pets for potentially cancerous lumps and bumps regularly. Not only do their staff regularly attend our events, they often support our events by bringing a car to events. We have many FETCH a Cure supporters that shop at Moore Subaru Richmond and they are always pleased with the incredible service and recognition of FETCH throughout the showroom. Whenever the team at Moore Subaru is involved in an event that they think might be beneficial for us, they invite us out and help us make connections with new people that may not have heard of us. The bottom line is that we know that we can always count on Billy and his team to help save the lives of pets with cancer in our community. With Subaru's support we were able to have a record breaking 2022- saving 62 pets with cancer and providing over $170,000 in cancer treatment in our community. Thank you, Subaru!
Our partners at Moore Subaru reached out to support our teachers during Teacher Appreciation Week at Longan Elementary...and boy, did they ever come through! What better way to fellowship than to share a meal with some very dedicated...and VERY hungry educators! We can not thank you enough for your appreciation and consideration! -With lots of gratitude from your Longan partners
Our 21st Annual Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party was packed full of fun activities for the whole family. Approximately 4,000 devoted animal lovers participated in our beloved event, and this year we raised more than $204,000 to benefit the Richmond SPCA’s lifesaving mission. Our Block Party, sponsored by Moore Subaru, was free to attend and featured live music, food and drink trucks, 50 local vendors and artisans in our outdoor marketplace and plenty of fun activities for kids and dogs. As a key partner, we cannot thank Moore Subaru enough for helping save the lives of homeless pets in the care of the Richmond SPCA.
With the lifesaving support of Moore Subaru of Richmond, this October the Richmond SPCA found lasting, loving homes for 367 pets. Some of the happiest stories to come out of the Subaru Loves Pets initiative are those of Underdogs such as Wilbur who found his happily ever after on October 9 with Kelly Williams. What we know of Wilbur’s journey began in July with one of our municipal partners. The shelter in Appomattox County, Virginia took in a stray dog who was dragging his back legs when he walked yet was incredibly sweet and loving despite any pain he was experiencing. They called on the Richmond SPCA to transfer Wilbur into our care for the best chance of recovery. Dr. David Molinas, the Richmond SPCA’s associate veterinarian, placed Wilbur on strict cage rest upon his arrival at our humane center while beginning diagnostics. Following radiographs of the 8-year-old dog’s spine and pelvis, which revealed no fractures, Dr. Molinas began treatment for intervertebral disk disease, continuing the regimen of rest and pain medication. Our animal care team and a dedicated foster care volunteer helped Wilbur recover in a quiet, nurturing environment. Over three months, he began using his back legs again. When Kelly met Wilbur at our adoption center, his injury and special needs did not give her pause. She saw not an underdog but a “kind old boy” in need of love and a home, which she was eager to provide. Kelly has named him Biscuit and says the difference is unbelievable. “He loves having a family, and I love him,” said Kelly. Biscuit continues to regain mobility, and though he’s back on his feet, he experiences occasional relapses with his back and remains vulnerable to injury. Thanks to Subaru Loves Pets, Biscuit found just the right home to meet his needs. Second Story: Our wonderful local Subaru dealership, Moore Subaru of Richmond, was generous enough to serve as the Dinner Sponsor for our largest fundraising event of the year, the Fur Ball. During the live auction, dealership owners Joe and Deana Moore secured the right for their beloved pets to serve as the Richmond SPCA mascots for our current fiscal year. We are thrilled to have this ongoing support and look forward to partnering with Moore Subaru and the Moores personally as we promote our mission and adoption as the most responsible means to add a pet to the family. With the help of Moore Subaru, the Fur Ball grossed more than $675,000 to support our Cinderella Fund, a dedicated pool of resources to treat and rehabilitate sick and injured animals. Last year, we brought more than 4,000 animals into our care, 3,500 of which were "underdogs," requiring medical or behavioral intervention in addition to basic veterinary care.
VCU Health and Massey Cancer Center are so thankful for organizations like Subaru of Richmond! In October 2022, we received a large donation of soft, fleece blankets from Subaru of Richmond in partnership with Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Simple items like this bring warmth, comfort, and encouragement to our patients during their cancer journey which often includes many hours per visit to receive treatment. Additionally, Subaru donated thirty art kits for children which will go to the Pediatric Hematology Oncology Clinic, so our younger cancer patients can also share in the love. Their items not only help patients and their families feel seen, welcomed, and attended to, but also allow our team members and volunteers to distribute high-quality items, offering another layer of care. We appreciate the partnership!
Recently, we had the privilege of partnering with Moore Subaru Richmond. With their support, they are making a difference for our kids! Moore Subaru Richmond kindly donated a $500 gift card that was used to purchase numerous backpacks for children who needed it. Additionally, Moore Subaru generously donated numerous school supply kits for 10 classrooms supporting 250 students. Thank you being a wonderful partner and supporting the kids in our community! Sincerely, Nicole Henderson Principal R C Longan Elementary School
Twenty years ago, the Richmond SPCA boldly adopted a no-kill operating model and pledged to save the life of every healthy and treatably sick or injured homeless animal in our care. During this time, we facilitated more than 64,000 adoptions, established more than 60 transfer partnerships across the Commonwealth, and pioneered programs of high-volume spaying and neutering as well as full-service, low-cost veterinary care. In order to celebrate such an accomplishment with our community, the Richmond SPCA hosted a Block Party, presented by Moore Subaru. Animal lovers all across RVA joined us for a fun-filled day of live music, great food and drinks and of course, activities for the whole family—including our four-legged friends! We are grateful to Moore Subaru for their generosity and their commitment to ensure that homeless pets are given every opportunity at a happy life.
HomeAgain is a non-profit based in Richmond, VA that helps individuals and families experiencing homelessness secure and maintain a Home, Again. In the past year, our organization secured permanent housing for nearly 500 homeless individuals (and their families). Those who come to HomeAgain are placed in our emergency shelters before being transitioned into our community housing programs where they're able to locate and secure a stable home with our support. When they arrive at our door, most only have the clothes on their backs. During a time that is joyous for most, the holiday season and winter months can be challenging for HomeAgain clients. This is why it's important for our local community to recognize these individuals and choose to make a difference. In December of 2021, Subaru of Richmond contacted our organization, offering to hold a blanket drive for our clients. We were thrilled to have their support and even more thrilled on the day they arrived with 5 large boxes of blankets. Their generosity this holiday season is making a difference in the 60 plus shelter clients we support and warming the hearts of our staff and those we assist. Thank you, Subaru of Richmond for your support!
For nearly a decade, Subaru has supported FETCH a Cure in our mission to create a community where no one is denied a choice for their pet's health and well-being due to a lack of options, education, or funding. Through our Companions in Crisis program, FETCH has provided financial assistance to families in Virginia, Maryland, and DC who cannot bear the costs of life-saving cancer treatments for their pets. Through Subaru's generous commitment to FETCH, 2020 Companions in Crisis grant recipient, Bourbon, was given a new lease on life. Thank you, Subaru, for giving the ultimate gift to our Companions in Crisis recipients and their families -- the gift of more time together.
The Richmond SPCA celebrated more than 300 adoptions during the Subaru Loves Pets month of October 2021. While each adoption was special-particularly for the pets- there was one very special moment for us in October when Portland, a long-term resident found her forever home. Portland had been adopted and returned twice. But the third time was the charm for this sweet gal. We are grateful to Subaru for supporting underdogs and pets like Portland at the Richmond SPCA and across the country.
Did Moore Subaru Richmond go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
