Brattleboro Subaru is proud to be very active and engaged with our surrounding communities. Giving back in a variety of ways and to a variety of impactful causes is of the utmost importance to us. Learn more about the history of our community engagements below!

This February Brattleboro Subaru was proud to partner with the Boys and Girls Club of Brattleboro for this year's Operation Warm mission! We had the opportunity to present children at the Boys & Girls Club with 180 winter coats. This essential item not only helps keep children protected, warm, and dry, but it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being. This can mean the difference between going to school or not; between participating in activities or sitting out. No child should ever have to face these circumstances. This is why Brattleboro Subaru is honored to be apart of this year's Operation Warm mission! 

Vermont Flood Relief Efforts with Brattleboro Subaru

Seeing first hand the damage that was done from the Vermont flooding was an eye opening experience and we knew that we had to get involved. It was our mission to help our local state in every way possible after experiencing all the need that was there. We donated and delivered a pallet of food, 30 box fans and 10 dehumidifiers to the town of Ludlow, all equaling out to about $3,000. As we were driving up to Ludlow to drop off the donation, we couldn't believe how much damage that actually occurred during the floods. We saw pictures and heard about things but seeing it with our own eyes was even more unbelievable! When we got to the Fire Department, we saw volunteers still working on fixing all the damage, this being a couple months later after the storm. The time and amount of people it takes to come together and put all the pieces back together of what got destroyed is crazy, but so amazing to see how everyone in the community joins together when something like this happens. We are glad that we at Brattleboro Subaru were able to help in a time of need and to see how thankful Angela and Fran were at the Ludlow Fire Department after receiving the donation. As a thank you, they gifted us a "Vermont Strong" plaque to represent in our showroom; we are Vermont Strong!

Since receiving this national recognition for our local efforts supporting Ludlow, Subaru of New England visited us recently to award a beautiful plaque for our showroom; while donating an extra $500 to make our donation total $1,000! Jeff Ruble, the COO of Subaru of New England, DOUBLED this added donation amount to make it a grand total of $2,000 cash donated to the Ludlow Fire Station!

 We were touched to receive this most recent customer testimonial from a 2023 Loves Pets adoption! 

"Hi John,  This week I adopted a kitten, Willow, at the Windham County Humane Society. I want to express my gratitude to you folks at Brattleboro Subaru for your active participation in the 'Subaru Loves Pets Initiative'. Thank you, on behalf of Willow and all the animals at WCHS seeking homes! Adopting Willow was a special event, but knowing Brattleboro Subaru will be donating $100 in recognition of this adoption is the cherry on top! Your generosity, I'm sure, will only allow WCGS to continue their great work and help them fulfill their mission of caring for, advocating for, and adopting pets into loving homes. I personally appreciate the financial support you are providing them through this initiative. Thank you for all you and your team there do for our community in supporting all living beings!" - Michael

Supporting Upper Valley Haven With Our Thanksgiving Food Drive

This Thanksgiving season we were proud to partner with Reynolds Subaru to support Upper Valley Haven non-profit in their mission of providing families with Thanksgiving meals. From October through November, we collected non-perishable Thanksgiving food items in our dealerships to help provide families with the items they needed this holiday season. Giving back to our community is always our top priority and the holidays present a great opportunity to show our support. We would like to thank our community for helping make this food drive possible!

The Subaru Share the Love Event takes place every year from mid-November to early January. During this time, Subaru of America and the team at Brattleboro Subaru donate a portion of proceeds from every new car sale to one of four national charities, or a local hometown charity here in the Brattleboro area. We were thrilled to partner with Youth Services this past year and present them our donation check. Thank you for all the support making this community initiative possible year after year!
