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.
Our Love Promise can be seen in various partnerships with local charities and non-profits. We're grateful for the opportunity, not only to be a part of our community, but to serve it as well.

At the Subaru Loves / Operation warm Event, a mom stood quietly near the back of the line with her three boys. The youngest held her hand tightly, the middle one bounced with nervous excitement, and the oldest tried his best to act brave and grown up. You could see in their eyes that they weren't used to being the ones receiving something special. When it was their turn, the boys carefully picked out their shoes. Bright smiles slowly replaced their shy expressions. The youngest couldn't stop staring at his pair, lifting his feet again and again just to see them. The middle boy ran a tiny circle nearby, testing how fast he could go. The oldest simply looked down for a moment, then up at his mom with a quiet smile that said more than words ever could. Their mom watched them with tears in her eyes — the kind of tears that come from relief, gratitude, and love all mixed together. She hugged them close and thanked everyone again and again. As they walked away, the boys' steps were lighter, their laughter louder, and their confidence just a little bigger. Sometimes something as simple as a new pair of shoes can make a child feel seen, valued, and ready to run toward their dreams. And for that mom, seeing her boys walk away smiling was the greatest gift of all. The mom came back a week later for Our food pantry and said, "The boys have worn their shoes every day since and don't take them off." 👟❤️

Northern NV Dream Center is a local Carson City non-profit that delivers much needed help and services to members of our community. They were created out of a vision to bring hope and relief to individuals and families in need by providing support and services that address hunger, poverty, homelessness, addiction, education and spiritual well-being. The Norther Nevada Dream Center is diverse because it not only provides much needed services, but creates many opportunities for volunteering, and helping others. In 2023 alone this organization had 1,748 Mobile food truck recipients, provided 501,556 meals, hosted special events with 3,205 attendants, donated 49,241 items including clothing, personal hygiene, and house hold items, and generated 4,672 Volunteer hours! This comprehensive outreach takes not only volunteers but also donations to continue to achieve the success we have had, and grow to reach new heights in our outreach. We want to give a special thanks to Michael Hohl Subaru in Carson City, for their generous donations to help us continue to serve our community. This year in the bitter cold of February, Michael Hohl Subaru held a coat drive and participated in “Operation Warm” where much needed winter coats were gathered, donated, and distributed to members of our community in need. This was such a huge help during the winter. Additionally Michael Hohl Subaru donated several boxes of brand new un-opened socks. Used clothing is commonly donated; however, typically it is difficult for us to obtain much needed socks! We appreciate the generosity of our local Subaru dealership, and have plans to again work together for Operation warm 2025!
As a proud member of the Nevada Humane Society, I often find myself reflecting on the countless stories of love and resilience that unfold within our walls. Every day, we care for animals who have faced hardships, and our mission is to give them a second chance at life. One of the most meaningful partnerships in this journey has been with Michael Hohl Subaru, whose generous support has truly transformed our work. I remember the day we launched our outreach program, made possible by Subaru’s donations. We gathered as a team, excited yet anxious, hoping this initiative would shine a light on the animals who needed it most. I had the privilege of working with many incredible pets, each with their own unique story—like the timid little beagle who had been abandoned, yet still wagged her tail with hope. Through Subaru’s support, we were able to ensure the livelihoods of these animals in our care. It was moving to see our community come together, sharing these stories and helping to spread the word. When people began visiting the shelter, their eyes lighting up as they met our furry residents, it filled my heart with hope. With each adoption, we not only celebrate a new beginning for the animals but also for the families who welcome them home. I’ll never forget the joy on a young boy’s face when he met his new best friend, a playful terrier mix who had spent too long waiting for someone to notice him. Moments like these remind us of why we do what we do. Subaru's partnership is more than just financial support; it’s a commitment to compassion that resonates deeply within our community. Together, we are creating a network of love and understanding, proving that every animal deserves a chance to be loved and cherished. To Subaru, thank you for believing in our mission and for helping us change lives. Your support helps us nurture hope and healing, not just for the animals we care for, but for the families they will soon join. Together, we’re on a journey of love, and I can’t wait to see where it takes us next.
The recent Davis Fire has caused devastating damage to the northern Nevada upland area. Fire Fighters, both on land and from the air, have been battling the blaze tirelessly day and night to save residences, mature forests, ski areas, schools, subdivisions and the like. It’s currently estimated to stretch across 5,824 acres. Many people and animals have been displaced, or evacuated due to quick changing evacuations, unpredictable wind and dangerous conditions. Heavy fuels, steep terrain and limited access only added to the challenge for emergency responders. Nevertheless, Fire Fighter’s tenacity, bravery, skill and diligence enabled them to continue to contain the fire and defend our mountainous terrains. The Michael Hohl Subaru team rallied together to make an impact during the crisis. The dealership team was able to donate several vehicles full of bottled water, granola bars, fruit, nuts and snacks and delivered them straight to the front-line Fire Fighters. Additionally, the team rallied together for supplies for pets, including multiple pallets full of pet food to assist the humane society in handling the rush of displaced pets. In less than 24 hours, led by the Hohl family, the team was able to get supplies together and deliver much needed supplies. We are incredibly grateful to the Michael Hohl Subaru team for their quick action and the impact it’s had during this difficult battle!

I feel even more blessed you support us. Seeing how you want to care for our larger community motivates our campus to continue to grow our impact as well. You all are a blessing to many!

Thank You Michael Hohl Subaru for adopting our Pre-K classroom. Our Pre-K program has our 4 year old students in our school district. Pre-K is our student's first exposure to the school setting. A lot of our focus is on social skills, how to share, how to play, and how to be at school. This is also when our students start building on their fine motor skills. Cutting, glueing, holding markers, crayons, pencils correctly etc. We have lots of practice writing letters and by the end of the year, students will be writing their first names, and some even their last names. Thanks to your donation, we are able to continue these skills. As you can imagine we go through a lot of markers/crayons by the end of the year. Thank you for helping the students in our community. ~Adrienne Turner

Western Nevada College isn’t entering Career and Technical Education Month lightly. WNC rolledl out a technical division rebranding initiative Wednesday and announced a new partnership with Michael Hohl Subaru and Subaru of America. With a renewed focus on preparing students for respectable living-wage careers and strengthening Northern Nevada’s talent pipeline for local employers, WNC has renamed its technical education department to Workforce, Career & Technical Education. “This new name — WCTE — more accurately describes the high-quality training opportunities WNC offers to help Nevadans engage in the workforce,” said Dr. Dana Ryan, VP of Academic and Student Affairs. “To be valuable to the students and the community, programs must be aligned with employer needs so we are proud to be able to announce a new partnership with Subaru that will support our Automotive Technology students in preparing for careers.” Michael Hohl Subaru and Subaru of America are greatly assisting with the launch of WCTE with the timely and benevolent donation of a new 2023 Subaru. The new car will help WNC’s Auto Mechanics students learn current repair skills necessary to work on the latest vehicles at local dealerships and repair shops. “Subaru of America's intent is to create a platform of partnership with WNC and Michael Hohl Subaru to educate and employ quality technicians with the purpose of providing a lifetime of high-quality employment opportunities within the automotive industry,” said Subaru of America Zone Market Development Manager Ray Smit. WNC Automotive Mechanics Instructor Sunshine Haupt is excited about the possibilities this new partnership will provide Western students and the community. “With the new partnership between Subaru and WNC, I believe this will open new avenues for students and instructors to interact with each other as a community,” she said. “With exciting new vehicles also comes the ‘scary’ computer training. Our partnership with Subaru will help us to take the stigma out of the big, ‘scary’ mechanical world. “WNC's partnership with Subaru will put WNC on automotive industry seekers' radar. No longer does the community have to travel far out of state for state-of-the-art manufacturer training.”

The Nevada Humane Society is busting at the seams with dogs and cats looking for their forever homes. Because of this, supplies to feed all these wonderful fur babies are in dire need! During Subaru's "Make a Dogs Day" event at Michael Hohl Subaru we collected a truck load of pet food and donated it to the Carson City Chapter of the Nevada Humane Society.
We found a happy home for our featured #Underdog Asher at the Make a Dog’s Day Event at Michael Hohl Subaru on October 22, 2022! This sweet five-month-old puppy came from a seriously neglectful situation and was suffering from fleas and other challenging skin conditions. Our veterinary team was fantastic in providing excellent care to make sure that Asher healed quickly from his skin issues. From medicated baths to antibiotic therapy, Asher was in our custody for over a month. During his recovery, so many staff members here at the shelter quickly fell in love with this incredibly brave and adorable little guy! Once Asher began to recover and show signs of being ready to be adopted into a loving home, our team quickly decided that he was the perfect mascot for our event with the team at Michael Hohl Subaru in Carson City -as he’s the ultimate ‘Underdog” and so deserving of a second chance at a loving home! So many people were ready to make this pup their furrever friend! He ended up getting adopted by a wonderful family. The Harris family ended up making the trip to the capital city and instantly falling in love with the dog. Their two sons, Austin and Owen were so excited to see Asher in person after watching him on the news. “We watched him on the news and wanted to help him because he looked sad, and we wanted to show him what it’s like to be part of a family that loves him.” -Austin, 10 years old. “My brother Austin and I spent the whole night watching dog training videos on YouTube so we have a lot of tricks we’re ready to teach him.” – Owen, 8 years old We are so happy for Asher and his new family. His Halloween costume, according to Austin and Owen, was a ninja!
The Michael Hohl Executive Team recently participated in one of the largest fundraising events for the Norther Nevada Humane Society called "Heels & Hounds". It was a HUGE success raising over $200,000 which was their best ever. This will allow the Northern Nevada Humane Society to care for over 18,000 animals this year!!
Evangeline is a tiny dog that has lived a whole lot of life and was ready to find her next chapter. When this small 13-year-old dog came to us as a stray, we knew that we needed to get her looked at right away by our clinic team. We did not know a lot about her background, but we could tell by her loving demeanor that she was going to make someone incredibly happy. At 13 years old, she had to undergo two surgeries which can be a lot on a dog of her size. The first one was to have mammary masses removed. We were not sure how long that she had these cancerous masses on her belly, so we wanted to get them off right away. As she began to recover from this, it was also time to treat her for some dental problems that were clearly bothering her. She had severe dental disease, so her second surgery was to go in and do a thorough cleaning and removal of teeth that needed it. This was a lot of stress on this little lady and after it was all done, she was ready to settle down in a home. She seemed a bit sad in the shelter, so we were hoping for a home for her as soon as possible. With the help of Michael Hohl Subaru, we were able to promote her and show that just because a dog might have lived another life before they meet you, does not mean you can’t share the most amazing one together. Many senior pets get overlooked at the shelter, but Jennifer knew that Evangeline was the one for her. After we went over all her medical notes, and the two of them met it was time for this amazing dog to head to her forever home! “She is doing great and is such a sweet dog. She loves car rides so I take her almost everywhere I go.”- Jennifer, Evangeline’s dog mom.
“My mentor said a phrase one day that blew me away. He said “sometimes we think we are saving them, but they are really saving us.” I really couldn’t imagine my life without Dax.” –Tanner McWhirter When our Carson City Animal Control team found Dax Shepherd, he was severely underweight, very scared and had obviously been neglected. This beautiful German Shepherd had been abused and abandoned, but we knew that there was a sweet, loving dog inside this nervous boy, that just needed a little extra love and attention to learn to trust people and understand what it is to be loved. Luckily our dedicated Veterinary and Dog Care teams were ready to help and with the support of our friends at Michel Hohl Subaru, we found Dax the perfect Forever Home! After several weeks of healthy meals and specialized training sessions, Dax Shepherd started to come out of his shell and blossom into an amazing dog. While our team was busy rehabilitating Dax, U. S. Military Veteran Tanner McWhirter (Dax’s dog dad) had decided he wanted a German Shepherd and was actively searching for his Furry Soulmate. Tanner’s friends encouraged him to check the Nevada Humane Society website so that he could help a shelter dog in need, and when he did he discovered Dax. When Tanner read Dax’s story he knew he just had to help him and couldn’t wait to meet him. When Tanner met Dax… it was just meant to be. “Dax just casually walked into the room with his tennis ball in his mouth. He was just calm and collected, and I immediately knew he was the perfect dog for me.” –Tanner. The two are inseparable and Tanner says he couldn’t imagine his life without Dax! “Dax and I do everything together, he goes with me everywhere. I just enjoy his company and seeing how he brightens up people’s day when they see him. He also loves the attention he gets at church! I take him to work with me and he is a star –everyone loves him and he gets tons of attention and gifts! Our favorite activity is hiking together, Dax knows when it’s Saturday morning and we are going for a couple hour hike.” –Tanner.
Founded in 1993, The Boys & Girls Clubs of Western Nevada is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides a wide variety of programming for the youth of Carson City and the greater Carson Valley area, during critical out-of-school hours. While the nationally-accredited programs are high in value, we make sure that they are affordable to all who want to attend. The annual membership fee to belong is only $60 per child. This fee includes After-School Programming, transportation from school, and a healthy snack every day. In 2019, the Club provided services to more than 6,500 children age 6-18. We never turn a child away for inability to pay, and are able to keep our fees low because of our incredible donors. As our membership continues to grow, funding from our community partners becomes increasingly important to ensuring we can meet the needs of our kids. We serve more than 125,000 free snacks and meals annually, provide afterschool enrichment programming in Education, Healthy Habits, Sports & Recreation, S.T.E.M., and the Arts to more than 500 youth daily, and 95% of our Club kids graduate on-time with more than two-thirds going on to pursue post-secondary education. While our Club doors are currently closed to children, we feel it is critical to continue providing services to our families in any way possible. Through direct food assistance for our most at-risk families, to serve as a free and reduced lunch pickup site, to providing daily virtual programming for our kids covering art activities, physical fitness, culinary, and educational programs, our Club is committed to continuing critical services for our kids and families who need us now more than ever. We are a designated pickup site for daily free lunch and snack service for our area families, and are expanding that program to include lunch service during the originally scheduled spring break dates of April 10th-17th. Additionally, we are conducting daily virtual programming with an emphasis on engaging youth in learning opportunities, physical fitness, and creative expression using easy to follow and activities that are accessible with limited supplies. Additionally, we are working with local hospitals to develop a plan to open our doors for childcare services for the healthcare workers and first responders of our community. Following their guidelines, we will seek to open for all-day childcare to serve these heroic members of our community who are called daily to the frontlines of this battle. The Club will adhere to their recommendations for occupancy and individual spacing within our facility, regular sanitation and sterilization measures will be in place throughout the day and staff and kids will wear necessary protective equipment as appropriate. During this service, we will provide lunch and dinner for the youth to ease the burden placed on their parents whose work demands have increased. The Share the Love program that Michael Hohl Subaru sponsors gives us much-needed funds to continue to serve our families, support our front line responders and continue to be a shining beacon in the community.

Carson Tahoe Cancer Center was eager to meet with Michael Hohl Subaru and LLS for another year of donations! The staff have a great connection to the retailer already, so it’s a special relationship that the hospital truly cherishes. Subaru brought their donations in on a cart and were immediately greeted by the hospital and foundation staff. They were so grateful to be able to receive boxes of warm blankets for their patients. They were able to give out some that same day! The directors came out to personally thank Matthew Hohl and his Subaru colleagues. One of the directors mentioned that “the patients will be very happy to receive the blankets.” When the staff came out for the photo, they were very excited to see the blankets and arts and craft kits. We opened up one of the craft kits to show them everything inside. The thought it would be perfect for the kids going through treatment or for kids visiting their loved ones in the cancer center. We took some photos and after, the hospital staff thanked Subaru themselves before heading back into the infusion center. The foundation staff enjoyed some additional conversations with Subaru before parting ways and saying “looking forward to next year!”
In the Spring of 2017, after the death of a very dear fly fishing friend, we decided to create a program dedicated to the incarcerated youth to teach them Fly Fishing in our friends' name. (Disclaimer, I'm not an eloquent writer) It's not Fly Fishing we're teaching them. It's Life: Decision making. Consequences. Corrections. Choices. We called Jeff G. of the State of Nevada Youth Camp, China Springs, located in Gardnerville, which serves all Nevada counties, (accept Clark county ) mid-level offenders between the ages of 12- 18.Along with the aid of being coaches and used gear donations from local fly club members, we were able to teach 6 youth, 6 weeks of fly fishing and present them with rods, reels and fly lines and fly boxes with flies. We did not want to teach them these life lessons and then have them leave the program without being able to experience the act of fly fishing, and to not be reminded of the life lessons learned.At the beginning of this first session, all we wanted, was for one of the participants to get "IT"... that one thing... that this is about YOU, it's about YOUR decisions, it's about correcting, it's about consequences, to think before YOU act, to give yourself the choice and to try and make the right choice first. If it was the wrong choice, then try again. It's about handling each life with release, that YOU have the awesome power to catch a living animal, and to feel it's fight, to honor a living thing and to see it go and live more. The first session, was, in our minds a jaw dropping success. We hoped for 1 participant to get IT.. instead, all SIX participants, got IT. They're families got IT, the other youth that were incarcerated, got IT, just by word of mouth. According to Staff at China Springs, there was a complete change in the youth that did not participate. They were all asking to be involved in the next session. Jeff G., of China Springs, I believe has written into this forum. He is eloquent, methodical and knowledgeable with these youth. I am not, I know fly fishing. During the scheduling of the second session Jeff told me, "okay, I have to tell you, 5 of these guys are Gang members... " I said right away: "I don't care what they've done, I care about where they are going. " and it's true. The second session was more of a success than the first session. These kids finally had a release, they had something, that makes life not such a secret any more! The second session was easier, due to a donation from M. Hohl, to help us get new rods instead used ones from the 1970's, along with fly tying kits, so our session 2 participants are prepared! The reports back, were these participants are now interacting with their parents, when there was NO interaction. They are still going out, practicing catch and release fishing, and they are still in awe to know that it's between them, the river, and the fish. No judgements, it was their decision, it was their choice. And the reward of all this ... well... the didn't keep it .... They let it go and each time they go out, they'll meet it again. As a note: We asked the participants of Sessions I & II, to come up with their own logo... they had a little contest, everyone submitted something, and THEY Voted on which one they wanted... the Winning entry : Discovery on the Fly... Discover Yourself! Can't thank M. Hohl enough for his help, along with Jon (JB) of the Hohl family of dealerships.. this success of htis program couldn't of been done as easily without your help.
Michael Hohl Motor Company not only puts their proverbial money where their mouth is, but takes it a step further by volunteering time with at-risk kids in Northern Nevada. Matthew Hohl and Jon Blakely, both key employees at Michael Hohl Motor Company, volunteered hours of their own time in the first two sessions of the inaugural groups of Discovery on the Fly (DOTF) program which Michael Hohl Motor Company funds. It is now an established and successful program for at-risk youth in the area. The group is six weeks long with six participants who are paired with a volunteer. The kids learn the nuances of fly fishing, casting, tying and congruent life lessons which they can apply in other areas of their lives moving forward. Discovery on the Fly Session I was special. That said, it was Session I and a pilot program and we didn't know for sure whether or not there would even be a Session II. As it turned out, Session I changed lives and caught the attention of a lot of folks - unsolicited. The volunteers raved about it, the kids raved about it, the families raved about it and thus, Session II and beyond. In the second session, four of the kids had never fished before, much less fly fished or tied flies. As it turned out, this group of kids who you would never expect to see with a rod in hand or to even be interested for that matter, have not only changed the course of their lives and ideals, but of those who volunteered for this project. Each of the six participants receive a fly tying kit, materials, fly box and flies in addition to those they tie in the group, a variety of printed materials and a fly rod/reel/line combo, all of which they get to keep once the group ends. Over six weeks they learn to tie flies, cast, understand bug and trout behavior, knot tying and in the culmination, go to a private pond where they all catch big fish on a fly rod and safely release them back to the water. Again, congruent with the techniques and disciplines taught and learned are life lessons taught in a different environment. We found that among many other benefits, participants who previously had communication problems with their families, during and long after the group shared not only how much they loved the group, but their excitement was so palatable and infections within their families – it became a bond which not only brought the families together talking about it, but gave them a reason to do things together like going fishing and spending quality time outdoors. Word-of-mouth among the kids and families have many more inquiring about the ability to be a part of the group going forward. Michael Hohl Motor Company and the volunteers involved with this program have something here that is making an impact beyond what was anticipated. Cannot thank you all enough for what you are doing for the at-risk youth of this state, who if not for you, may never have an opportunity like this. Maybe, just maybe, lives will change and you have been a factor in that change. I'm thinking so.
Representatives from Michael Hohl Subaru in Carson City presented Katie Leao, chief professional officer of the Boys & Girls camp; Girls Clubs of Western Nevada with a check in the amount of $7,685 Tuesday, March 29, from the Subaru Share the Love event which took place from Nov 19, 2015 through Jan. 2, 2016. This donation will provide two full meals a day for at least 12 kids for an entire year, said Leao. Besides free or reduced lunch at school, we provide the only food some of our members get. We offer meals for them and send food home on weekends to ensure they don't go hungry. We are grateful for Michael Hohl Subaru's long-standing friendship with our Club. Each year for six weeks between mid-November and early January, Hohl donates $250 for each new car sold during their Share the Love event. Subaru corporate office selects national nonprofit education, health, community, animal and environmental organizations, and each dealership selects one local organization for customers to choose to receive the donation.
As a participating Subaru Retailer, Michael Hohl Subaru has set up a complete Butterfly habitat located front and center of our Service reception area. This mini ecosystem that will promote life and growth of the Monarch butterfly is currently enjoyed by all of our incoming Service and Sales customers. This habitat has been enjoyed by many children, sparking imagination and instilling values of conservation, wildlife appreciation and the desire to learn. In conjunction with the habitat display we have handed out free Habitat seed kits for our customers to enjoy and create their own additional conservation habitats at their homes, schools, churches, and recreation centers. Additionally, a large portion of our Habitat seed kits have been presented to our local Carson City Nevada State Children's museum. Currently this museum educates children weekly about the importance of the Monarch butterfly in our area, and with our help will continue to grow and flourish their outreach. One out of three bites on our dinner plates is made possible by pollinators like the Monarch butterfly. This staggering statistic rings true in the minds of our community members, and adds to the value and sincere importance of creating Hero habitats. Michael Hohl Subaru has pledged to donate our complete habitat to the Nevada State Children's museum to add a unique and special permanent fixture to enhance their educational goals. We are proud to be able to make this impact, and Share the Love.
Michael Hohl Subaru in Carson City dedicated the month of April to the "Subaru Loves the Earth" e-waste recycling event. We invited our employees, customers, vendors and community members to drop off their e-waste for proper handling. A heartfelt thank you to all who participated in helping to protect our environment by bringing their TVs, computers, DVD players and cell phones to the dealership. We are grateful to serve our community with this program and work toward reducing the impact of toxic compounds in our soil and waterways.
When our dog passed away recently, my husband said that he wanted a break from pets. However, when Michael Hohl Subaru communicated that they were sponsoring a pet adoption on December 12, 2014 I just knew I had to attend. Even though I had not told my husband I was planning on going, I decided to anyway to try and fill the void we had for our last dog. I came across "Bella" a chocolate lab mix that had come from 2 homes already. She was so sweet and docile I couldn't believe no one wanted to keep her! I knew I could give her a good home and do something for a good cause. She now is my husband's best friend! Thank you to Michael Hohl Subaru for partnering with a local organization and sponsoring such a good cause in the community!
Did Michael Hohl Subaru go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
