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.
First Share the Love - Christina M
I have been a repeat customer at Green Subaru for over 12 years. For quite a few years I was a part of the Subaru Ambassador program and did volunteer with one of their local charities, Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control. I would help them during their Share the Love Adoption events, raising awareness amongst potential customers that they were on the list. I always wanted to be able to participate and make a purchase during Share the Love, and this year the stars finally aligned. I was able to make my purchase the day the volunteers were onsite, so it was lovely to catch up and see first hand where my contribution was going. Everyone at the dealership made my purchasing experience great as always. The service is what brings us back time after time. I am so grateful for the Subaru brand for having this event every year, and even more grateful to Green for going above and beyond to help a wonderful local charity!!
Blizzard Bag Donation - Becky R
Each year CAPCIL Senior Nutrition provides Blizzard Bags during the Share the Love Event to all of our home delivered meal clients so that they will have shelf-stable food items on hand in case of bad weather, or some sort of emergency where they need to take shelter or evacuate. Green Subaru in Springfield has generously donated enough bottled water for each of our clients to receive 3 bottles of water! I love their heart for our Seniors. Thank you Green Subaru of Springfield!
The Need is Great - Mary V
The last two years have been a tough time for animal shelters and rescues across the country. A large number of animals were adopted during Covid, only to be returned to shelters when people went back to work. There is a shortage of housing that allows pets. The cost of veterinary care is high. For these reasons and others shelters and rescues are full beyond capacity. The Springfield rescue community has been hit hard and Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control Rescue has stepped up to help the animals at Sangamon County Animal Control. Our rescue is here to pull sick, injured, elderly and stressed dogs from Animal Control and place them in foster homes where they can heal and decompress and become ready for adoption into permanent homes. Green Subaru has been a long time partner in our mission to help the vulnerable pets of Sangamon County. Over the last nine years Green Subaru has donated approximately $58,000 for the animals by selecting Friends rescue as a Hometown Charity during the annual Share the Love event. Those funds are currently being used to help Gerti, an adorable little bulldog mix who was dumped in a field with a badly injured leg. When she was brought to Animal Control she was pulled by Friends Rescue and received the surgery she needed to amputate her damaged leg. Gerti is now healing in a foster home and preparing for adoption. Quincy is a 5 year old Labradoodle who was living in a terrible situation. She is now in a foster home and attending training and doggy day care to teach her the skills she needs to get adopted and be a good family member. Winston is an 11 year old Cairn Terrier with a mouth full of rotten teeth that need to be extracted . We also found out hehas a seizure disorder. Winston is currently receiving vet care to get him to the point where he can have those teeth removed. For now he is living in a loving foster home. These are just three examples of the work Friends of Sangamon County Animal Control Rescue is able to do because of the commitment and financial support we receive from Green Subaru. Without that support precious lives would be lost. We cannot put into words the gratitude we feel for what they do to help us carry out our mission.
WE are Beyond Grateful - Denni R
Being a first year teacher in a new grade has its own challenges. This was such an amazing opportunity. We are so grateful for being chose by Adoptaclassroom.org and Green Subaru. I used this money to purchase supplies, books, and educational games for the students. Having them engaged and hands on is very important to me. The games have helped make math *more* fun for the students. They love getting to choose a new game and revisit a skill they may be struggling in, but have fun doing it. The supplies have helped bridge the gap between students who all and more in supplies and students that had just enough. The students are engaged in their learning. We LOVE our mindfulness cards that were purchased as well. The students use them as conversation starters during our social emotional learning. They are able to use those conversations in their daily life to help them regulate emotion. We are beyond thankful for this donation. It has been appreciated by each and every one of us! We appreciate this kind gesture so much! Thank you again from both myself and my students.
Keeping Warm at Contact Ministries - Cindy D - Cindy D
Thank you so much to Green Subaru for donating over 150 children’s winter coats! These coats will bless the many families that live in the Contact Ministries transitional and emergency shelters. This donation allows us to continue to serve the women and children in Springfield and surrounding areas. We are blessed to have you as our community partner!
Coats for Kids - Impressed G
Every year Green Subaru and the Green Family collect coats for kids in our community. This has become a lifeline for many families who simply cannot afford new coats for their children each year. A first grade class from Our Saviors Lutheran has been collecting coats for the Green Family coat drive for over a decade. The teacher has the kids write a grant, ask for donations, make a budget, then go shopping for new coats with that budget as part of a field trip. I was lucky enough to be there when they dropped off more than 80 brand new coats. These kids learned more than budgeting that day. They learned about the other kids they were helping, and they were eager to think about other ways to help. What a gift! Thank you to Ms. Claus' 1st graders at Our Savior's Lutheran and thank you to Green Subaru!
