When these three women rescued their dogs, they had no idea how much their lives would change. Dogs can change how we see the world. They have the power to make us happy, and they teach us to be grateful. Meet Amanda, Vanessa, and Sahar, just three of the many to take part in this year’s Subaru #ShareTheLove campaign.
Through the 2017 Share the Love Event, from November 16, 2017, to January 2, 2018, Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru vehicle purchased or leased to the customer's choice of the four national charities, including Meals on Wheels America, with a minimum guarantee of $250,000.

By the end of this year, Subaru and its participating retailers will have donated over $115 million to help those in need.

Below you will find our staff's personal missions statements, which reveal what drives us both personally and professionally.

On a brisk Saturday morning in November, volunteers and area organizations in Austin, Minnesota, were busy getting everything ready for an event to help others in the community. Tables were being set up, groceries were being placed into bags and barber chairs were being brought in for haircuts.
Richard Lemons, co-chair of the Austin Poverty Taskforce, the organization that coordinated the event, said he was humbled and overwhelmed as he entered the high school gym where Austin’s first Community Connect event would be taking place. “I was moved by how many people cared and were giving their time to help out,” he said.
