Happy Ending for Mistletoe - Mary V
Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control is dedicated to helping homeless and injured dogs in Sangamon County. We are a small, all volunteer rescue that can accomplish big things because of the support we receive from Green Subaru. Timid and terrified dogs are placed in calm, loving foster homes. Dogs that need socialization skills receive training from professional trainers. Victims of unimaginable abuse and neglect receive critical medical treatment required to save their lives. Mistletoe came into our rescue as the victim of long term abuse. We think she's six years old but it's hard to tell because her teeth are worn down from trying to chew her way out of a crate and a flap of skin has been torn from her jaw. Her past appears to be one of forced breeding and captivity. She has abdominal scars from repeated C-sections and pressure sores from being confined to a crate for painfully long periods of time. Despite everything she's endured Mistletoe is sweet, sassy and playful. Mistletoe was in need of surgery to repair the damage done in her cruel past but before that could happen she needed a calm foster home where she could rest and recover. She met a wonderful foster family at an adoption event at Green Subaru. This sweet girl is now recovering and living a beautiful life. We are honored by our friends at Green Subaru and their love for the vulnerable dogs of Sangamon County.
Community Love - Michael P
Green Subaru helped The Outlet serve at risk youth and their families with their generous monetary gift. This type of community partnership allows us to provide meals, resources and activities to reduce youth violence and guide young men and boys towards becoming accountable and responsible adults. We are truly grateful for the support and kindness. Let’s all continue to share the love!
Helping Readers Grow - Amy B
Thank you so much to Green Subaru for donating money to each grade level team at Sandburg. So far, as a first grade team, we have purchased class sets of magnetic letters. These letters allow students to practice building words and learn spelling patterns in a fun, engaging hands-on format. We are so appreciative of the generosity from Green Subaru and look forward to more learning materials arriving soon.
Magazines for Kids - Erika J
Thank you Subaru for your generous donation, which has made it possible for some of my students to have access to Scholastic News magazine. Research shows that children's magazines boost confidence and motivation to read all while introducing students to a wide range of texts including fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. My students love how short and snappy the texts are, and the fact that Scholastic News teaches them about current world events.
Adopt a Classroom Grant - Ellen N
I am so grateful for Subaru and their support for teachers through Adopt a Classroom. This year my class was awarded $500 and it has helped me provide new headphones when using technology. I was also able to purchase new recess games for when students have to stay inside on those cold winter days and are unable to get outside. I also was able to get extra office supplies like pencils and markers, along with stamps to reward students for hard work. Our school is not a title one school so without Subaru's generous donation, our students would not have these tools needed to help them be successful.
Inspiring Young Minds Through the Green Weather Guarantee - Elisa F
We’re so grateful to Green Family Stores and the WICS Storm Team for selecting Kidzeum of Health and Science as a recent recipient of the Green Weather Guarantee, resulting in a $2,300 donation! This support helps Kidzeum continue sparking curiosity and hands-on learning in science, health, and the environment for families across central Illinois. Every dollar helps us create new interactive exhibits, expand STEAM programming, and make learning accessible to all children. Thank you to Green Subaru for believing in the power of play, discovery, and community — together, we’re building a brighter future for the next generation of thinkers and explorers!
Feed the Need Car Show - Kathryn C
Illuminatus M.C. hosted a car show on July 12, 2025 to support out feed the need charity. Green Subaru sponsored our People's Choice Award. The money raised helps support local families with meals during the holidays. The support shown by Green Subaru is greatly appreciated!
Green Subaru Supports Contact Ministries - Joshua S
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 Springfield, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Green 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 Green Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/09/2025, Green Subaru donated 120 coats to Contact Ministries. 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.
Not Just a Catchy Slogan - Marietta Z
Green Subaru goes above and beyond with their love and support of Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control (FOSCAC). When we bring some adoptable dogs out to the dealership everyone makes us feel so welcome and the dogs get so much love and affection. The mission of FOSCAC is to help homeless pets in our community. Some of the things we help with are additional or emergency medical care for shelter animals, professional dog training, enrichment supplies, and all costs for dogs in our foster care. The donations received from the annual Subaru Share the Love campaigns have totaled over $58,000! We are forever grateful. ❤️🐾❤️🐾
Animal Protective League - Rachael B
Green Subaru has truly gone above and beyond for the community with their partnership with the Animal Protective League of Springfield. Walking into their showroom and seeing an adoptable pets display, complete with photos of dogs and cats in need of homes and a laptop showcasing even more animals, was such a heartwarming experience. The Animal Protective League’s work is so impactful—they rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals while also providing low-cost spay/neuter services to help control overpopulation. Seeing Green Subaru actively support such an important cause shows they’re not just about cars; they’re about making a real difference in the lives of people and animals alike. It’s inspiring to see a local business care so deeply about its community.
