DCH Subaru of Riverside Drives Impact at Walk with the Animals - Molly S
Thank you to DCH Subaru of Riverside for being the presenting sponsor of Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center's 34th annual Walk with the Animals, held April 18 at Fairmount Park in Riverside. Despite a chilly start in the early hours of the morning, the day quickly warmed up as hundreds of community members — along with their four-legged companions — gathered to support pets in need. The event featured a lively vendor village, delicious pancake breakfast, exciting raffle prizes, and crowd-favorite pet contests, creating a fun and meaningful experience for attendees of all ages. DCH Subaru of Riverside played an integral role throughout the day, leading participants at the start of the Walk, serving as judges for the pet costume and best trick contests, and connecting with the community at their booth. Many canine attendees proudly sported bright orange Subaru bandanas, adding a vibrant show of support across the event. In addition, DCH Subaru of Riverside presented Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center with a generous $33,000 donation from their end-of-year Share the Love initiative, furthering their commitment to making a positive impact for pets in our community. Thanks to the support of DCH Subaru of Riverside and our incredible community, this year's Walk with the Animals raised over $80,000 to help provide care and second chances for homeless dogs and cats. Thank you again to DCH Subaru of Riverside for helping make this cherished community event such a success.

Filling Tiny Tummies and Big Hearts: Puppy Love from DCH Subaru of Riverside - Molly S
In February, DCH Subaru of Riverside showed their love for pets in a big way with a generous food drive for our puppies — arriving at exactly the right time! In late January, Riverside County Animal Control officers rescued 31 dogs from a hoarding situation in Mecca, CA, and 25 of them were immediately transferred to Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center. Among these were several moms and their litters, including Snow White and her six fairytale-named pups, another mom with three adorable puppies, and a pregnant dog who gave birth to three more pups while in foster care. Thanks to DCH Subaru's support, these puppies had plenty of nutritious food to help them grow strong and healthy. Their donation also included cat food and other supplies, helping our other pets in care too. We were thrilled to bring adoptable Muffin the pug to the dealership to meet the team — and he stole everyone's heart, posing perfectly for the camera! A few days later, Muffin found his new home, proving that a little love goes a long way. We are incredibly grateful to DCH Subaru of Riverside for thinking of our tiniest residents and helping fill both bellies and hearts. Your kindness truly makes a difference in the lives of our puppies — and all the pets we care for!
A Warrior Rings The Bell! - Staci C
On January 31, 2026, Avery rang the bell. Not once in her life, but for the second time, Avery faced leukemia and refused to let it define her. Two battles. Two victories. Two seasons where fear tried to take up space — and courage answered back. This time, the victory carried even deeper meaning. Surrounded by family and friends, Avery took her very last chemo pills. There was a sacred stillness before the celebration erupted — the kind of quiet that holds years of prayers, long hospital nights, whispered hopes, and relentless faith. And then, with steady hands and a heart that has endured more than most ever will, she rang the bell. Its sound was not just a chime. It was resilience. It was hope. It was the closing of a long and difficult chapter. Maria Duenas and I, alongside the incredible Ceballos family, had the honor of planning the most beautiful celebration for Avery. Every detail was chosen with intention. Every balloon, every table, every embrace carried the weight of what she has overcome. This was not simply a party — it was a moment of gratitude, of reflection, and of joy hard fought and deeply earned. While planning this unforgettable day, we reached out to businesses in our community to help bring Avery's dream to life. What we found was a community ready to stand beside her in generous and meaningful ways. True to her selfless spirit, Avery did not want gifts. Instead, she asked that everyone who attended donate money or blankets to a charity that is incredibly close to our hearts — Addi's Blankets of Love. This beautiful organization was created by our daughter, who also fought leukemia twice and now walks with Jesus. Addi was unbelievably strong. Her journey reminds us that strength is not measured by whether someone gets to ring a bell, but by how bravely they walk the path placed before them. Her legacy lives on through every blanket given to a child in treatment, wrapping them in warmth, comfort, and love. One of the most touching moments of the day came when Tom and Sonya from DCH Subaru arrived at Avery's bell-ringing ceremony. In true fashion, they showed up in a beautiful way. Not only did they generously donate $1,000 to Addi's Blankets of Love, but they also gifted Avery a beautiful bracelet, a symbol of perseverance and the journey she has traveled. Throughout the past year of Avery's second battle with leukemia, DCH Subaru, along with Tom, Sonya, and the entire team — has shown up for Avery's family, our family and Blood Cancer United patients time and time again. Their compassion, generosity, and steady support have meant more than words can properly express. They are not just a business; they are a true pillar of our community. We are especially grateful for the way DCH Subaru, Tom, and Sonya continue to uplift Avery, her family and so many others walking through blood cancer diagnoses through their ongoing generosity with Blood Cancer United. Their commitment extends far beyond a single day or a single family. They consistently pour hope back into this community, reminding every child and every parent in the fight that they are not alone. January 31 was not about comparison. It was about gratitude. It was about honoring the road Avery walked and the people who walked it with her. It was about celebrating life, love, and the strength that carries families through both miracles and heartbreak. When Avery rang the bell, it echoed with hope. For every child still fighting. For every family holding tight. For every story — including Addi's — that continues to matter. A warrior rang the bell. And the sound carried love. Until there's a cure, Staci Conely Addi's mom, founder of Addi's Blankets Of Love
Operation Warm - Lending a Hand, Lifting a Community. - Mark D
On a day filled with generosity, laughter, and connection, Subaru of Riverside partnered with our community to create an unforgettable experience for families in need. What took place was far more than a giveaway — it was a day of dignity, joy, and restoration. Because of Subaru of Riverside's generosity, every child in attendance received: A warm jacket New shoes Fresh socks A $10 McDonald's gift card Cupcakes and drinks For many of our families, these were not just gifts — they were necessities. A new pair of shoes means confidence at school. A warm jacket means protection during cold mornings. Socks and clothing mean dignity. And for children who rarely get to pick something just for themselves, that McDonald's gift card represented a small but meaningful moment of independence and joy. But the impact did not stop there. A Full Day of Community Celebration Families were welcomed into a festival-like environment filled with: Hot dogs, chips, and water Carnival games with toy prizes Raffle drawings featuring youth and teen bicycles A live DJ creating a fun, energetic atmosphere The sound of music, children laughing, and families connecting created something powerful — a sense of belonging. Strengthening Community Partnerships The event also brought together critical community partners: The local Fire Department Law Enforcement, including an engaging K-9 presentation Community vendors providing resource tables, information, and interactive activities These partnerships helped bridge relationships between public safety, service providers, and families — building trust in a relaxed and positive setting. Meeting Immediate Family Needs In addition to the celebration, we addressed urgent needs by providing: Diapers for families with young children An on-site shot clinic to support family health and wellness This combination of practical support and joyful celebration ensured families left not only smiling — but supported. The True Impact This event served as a reminder that when businesses like Subaru of Riverside step forward, lives are touched in tangible ways. Parents expressed gratitude. Children beamed with pride. And families felt seen, valued, and cared for. For many of the families we serve, daily life can feel heavy. On this day, they experienced relief, fun, and community connection. Subaru of Riverside did not simply donate items — they invested in hope. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and commitment to the well-being of our families.
Orange you glad you volunteered? - Angela J
Earlier this month, the DCH Subaru Riverside Team got out and gleaned* orange trees for our Community Partners. They collected a total of 1370 lbs. from our City of Riverside Lot off Victoria Ave! This is a wonderful way to provide fresh produce to our community and neighbors in need. Thank you, DCH! *According to the USDA, gleaning is the act of collecting excess fresh foods from farms, gardens, farmers' markets, grocers, or any other sources to provide nutritious foods to communities in need.

Subaru Loves Pets Month: A Community Coming Together for Animals - Molly S
This October, the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center was grateful to once again partner with DCH Subaru of Riverside during the 2025 Subaru Loves Pets program, celebrating a month filled with compassion, connection, and second chances for pets in need. Through this partnership, DCH Subaru of Riverside provided a generous $8,000 grant, administered by the ASPCA, helping support 349 pets at our center — including 108 dogs and 249 cats. From vital veterinary care to preparing animals for adoption, this support helped ensure each pet received the care and attention they deserve. Among those impacted were 11 underdog dogs, including seniors and pets with special needs who often need a little extra love. The month also included a joyful adoption event hosted by the DCH Subaru team, where eight pets met their new families. They even took time to make National Make a Dog's Day unforgettable for our long-stay dog, Button, who soaked up every moment — greeting the team, sporting her Dodgers jersey, cruising in a #SubaruLovesPets Crosstrek, and enjoying a pup-approved cake made just for her. As Adoption Department Supervisor Monique Morones shared, "Relationships like ours with DCH Subaru of Riverside are vital to our life-saving efforts and a collaborative process to partner and improve the wellbeing of our community. This fosters stronger relationships, promotes advocacy, and leads to more adoptions." We're incredibly thankful to DCH Subaru of Riverside, Subaru Loves Pets®, and the ASPCA for their continued support and belief in our mission. Together, we're helping create brighter futures and more happy tails — right here in our community and beyond.
