Thank You! From Central Elementary! - Stephanie W
The teachers and students at Central Elementary in Hastings, Michigan, would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Fox Subaru Grand Rapids for their incredible generosity and support of our classrooms! Through their generous donations and partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, teachers were able to purchase much-needed classroom supplies to help create engaging, welcoming, and supportive learning environments for our students. These donations make a meaningful difference by helping teachers provide the materials and resources young learners need to grow, explore, and succeed. As a first-grade teacher, I was especially excited to use my donation to purchase a new classroom rug! Our classroom rug will provide a comfortable and inviting space for students to gather for read-alouds, participate in lessons, share ideas, and learn together. In first grade, so much learning happens when we come together as a classroom community, and this new addition will help make those moments even more special! We would also like to extend a special thank-you to Fox Subaru Grand Rapids for the box full of classroom supplies! Having additional supplies on hand helps teachers meet the everyday needs of their students while making learning fun, hands-on, and meaningful. Your kindness and commitment to supporting education remind us how powerful a community can be when it comes together for children. Because of your generosity, our teachers have additional resources to support their students, and our classrooms are better equipped to make learning a wonderful experience. Thank you, Fox Subaru Grand Rapids, for investing in our teachers, our students, and the future of our community! Your generosity is making a lasting impact at Central Elementary, and we are truly grateful for your support. With sincere appreciation, Stephanie Wenger First Grade Teacher Central Elementary Hastings, Michigan

Earth Day Love - Heather C
In celebration of Earth Day, our employees came together to participate in a campus cleanup, taking pride in our surroundings and doing their part to keep our shared space clean, welcoming, and beautiful. This simple act of teamwork reflects our belief that small actions can make a meaningful difference. Through our Subaru Love Promise, we strive to show love and respect for our community, our environment, and one another. We are proud of our team for stepping up, working together, and demonstrating that caring for our planet starts right here at home.
Fox Subaru has a lot of heart - Christine O
We are incredibly grateful for Fox Subaru's support. In our county, 68% of individuals with disabilities are unemployed. New Growth Project offers meaningful employment, job skill development, and community connections through our peer mentor program. We pay a fair wage and create a place for employees to grow in confidence and gain independence. We couldn't do it without support like Fox Subaru. They not only gave generously, but gave their time in helping us stuff and sticker bags, invited us to speak to their team, and wrapped their arms around us with an incredible donation that allowed us to extend our employment hours through the winter. THANK YOU!
Bringing Comfort and Hope to the Adult Blood & Marrow Transplant Clinic - Mary G
Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness leave the biggest impact. This year's Subaru Loves to Care delivery at Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals Adult Blood & Marrow Transplant Clinic – Lemmen-Holton served as a heartfelt reminder that patients undergoing blood and marrow transplant treatment are surrounded by a community that cares deeply about their well-being. Through the partnership between Fox Subaru and Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals Adult Blood & Marrow Transplant Clinic – Lemmen-Holton, blankets and care items were delivered to bring warmth, comfort, and encouragement to patients receiving treatment. These thoughtful gifts represent much more than a simple delivery—they are a tangible reminder that patients are not alone and that their community is standing beside them every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful to the team at Fox Subaru for their generosity and dedication to making a difference in the lives of local patients. Their commitment to giving back through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative reflects the compassion and community spirit that help brighten even the most difficult days. The dedicated physicians, nurses, and care teams at Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals Adult Blood & Marrow Transplant Clinic – Lemmen-Holton provide exceptional care to patients undergoing some of the most complex cancer treatments. Their unwavering commitment to supporting patients and families throughout every stage of the transplant journey helps create an environment of hope, healing, and compassion. A warm blanket, a thoughtful care item, and a simple reminder that someone is thinking of you can make a world of difference during treatment. It is these moments of kindness that help foster hope, connection, and strength when they are needed most. Together, Fox Subaru and Corewell Health Grand Rapids Hospitals Adult Blood & Marrow Transplant Clinic – Lemmen-Holton transformed a simple blanket delivery into a meaningful expression of compassion, hope, and community. We are grateful to everyone involved for helping bring comfort, encouragement, and brighter moments to patients and families as they navigate their transplant journey.

Customer Loyalty - Haley T
I wanted to take a moment to shine a huge spotlight on Barb for creating a truly beautiful and exceptional experience for one of our long-time customers! This incredible customer has been a part of our family since 2008—that is 18 wonderful years! Today, she's coming in to pick up her 6th Subaru from us, a brand-new 2026 Subaru Crosstrek. To celebrate this milestone, Barb went above and beyond by purchasing a bottle of champagne and putting together a sweet card for the whole team to sign. It is such a thoughtful way to thank her for her amazing loyalty, and it perfectly captures the heart of what we do. Thank you, Barb, for your incredible kindness and for making our customers feel so loved!
Keeping Children Warm - Victoria H
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness, this is the reality. This winter, Fox Subaru MI partnered with Operation Warm, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. In February, Fox Subaru MI donated 156 winter coats and 144 sneakers and socks to Family Promise of West Michigan. Throughout the month, Family Promise distributed these essential items to families across our programs, providing protection, warmth, and comfort. At Family Promise of West Michigan, we are so grateful for this gift that has helped so many in our community.
Finding Hope: A New Chapter with Tay - Scott V
Tay’s story is a testament to resilience and the impact of community support. For three years, he faced immense challenges living on the streets of Grand Rapids, struggling with depression and addiction, and feeling a deep lack of hope. The dedicated One Starfish Outreach team met Tay in a downtown park and began building a crucial relationship. Through consistent connection and help navigating available resources, One Starfish supported Tay on his path to restoration. Today, Tay is thriving. He lives in his own apartment, has successfully managed his depression and alcohol use, and holds a steady job as a custodian at a local church. Even more inspiring, he now pays it forward, working alongside One Starfish to connect with others experiencing homelessness, sharing the stability and hope he has found. The impact of the Subaru Share the Love event and the generous donation from Fox Subaru allowed us to provide essential resources and support, helping Tay and many others secure the same stability and a renewed sense of hope right here on the streets of Grand Rapids.
An “Underdog” Adoption Story - Winni W
Beau had been looking for his forever family for over 500 days. As one of our longest stay shelter dogs at Humane Society of West Michigan, Beau needed to find an adopter that could match his energy. His adoption fee was waived thanks to FOX Subaru, and Beau found forever home on October 1 (the first day of Subaru Loves Pets Month). It was a tremendous way to kick-off Subaru Loves Pets Month!
