DCH SUBARU RIVERSIDE SUMMER BLOOD DRIVE - Jacob P
Earlier this summer, LifeStream Blood Bank continued our partnership with DCH Subaru Riverside by bringing our mobile unit to their lot to conduct a lifesaving blood drive. Our mission at LifeStream Blood Bank is to connect local patients and donors through the gift of blood. We execute our mission by running many community blood drives with some of our amazing hosts who help us with accommodation and promotion of the blood drive ahead of time. DCH Subaru has been a consistent partner for us over the last few years, hosting multiple blood drives per year in an effort to help support local hospitals treat their patients who need blood transfusions. Hospitals such as Riverside University Health Systems and Loma Linda Hospital benefit greatly from the blood donations we collect. Summer time is the most challenging time for collecting blood donations due to schools being out and people vacationing frequently. The heat also is a factor especially for outdoor blood drives. DCH Subaru didn't let any of that stop them from making moves towards a successful blood drive. Even when interest started off slowly, they kicked into gear and supplied gift cards as an incentive to attract more folks to sign up! We ended up collecting 18 donations! This was enough donations to potentially save over 50 lives! The folks at DCH Subaru not only gave us their usual accommodating efforts to have us for the blood drive that day, but also displayed immense generosity and hustle to increase interest and participation for our blood drive. And thus, more lives were saved thanks to Sonya and her team. We can't thank DCH Subaru enough for coming through once again for our local hospital patients. Their dedication to hosting the blood drives and putting effort into making them successful is what we always look for in a great blood drive host, and they personify that. Thank you so much! And we look forward to the next one!

Happy Endings for 12 Pets! - Molly S
DCH Subaru of Riverside is a true friend to the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center, supporting our mission to provide second chances to homeless pets. On Saturday, June 21, they brought their generosity and spirit to life by hosting a lively adoption event right at our Center. The day was filled with joyful touches—Subaru vehicles out front, festive balloons, cupcakes in our signature orange and blue, and a giveaway table full of goodies for new pet parents. On top of all that excitement, the team from DCH Subaru of Riverside paid the adoption fee of 12 pets who met their new families that day. Amazing! Thanks to their continued support, events like these not only help pets find loving homes but also bring our community together in meaningful ways. We’re so grateful for their ongoing partnership and dedication to helping pets in need.
DCH Subaru Honoring a True Hero! - Sonya R
During the week of the US Army’s 250th Birthday, DCH Subaru of Riverside (CA) gave away a brand-new 2025 Subaru Forester Touring—along with two years of financial mentorship—to US Army Specialist and Purple Heart recipient, Glenn Coplin, for his military service and ongoing support of fellow veterans. Glenn served in the military from 1967 to 1973 with multiple deployments, including Korea and Vietnam. During his career, he served as a Combat Engineer during the Vietnam War and was stationed in the Korean DMZ. Later, he volunteered for service in Vietnam, where he conducted road construction and mine-sweeping operations. With over 45 years of sobriety, Glenn continues to support his fellow veterans by sharing his journey of healing. He’s found support and purpose through his local vet center, where he’s been involved in peer counseling for three decades. When fellow veterans ask him how he has stayed sober, his answer is always the same: “Remember how unhappy you were and don't go back.” Glenn continues to mentor other veterans through his leadership with the Military Order of the Purple Heart, where he currently serves as Commander of Chapter 2929. He also helps combat-wounded veterans navigate the process of receiving their Purple Hearts and provides guidance and encouragement through their recovery.
Ronald McDonald House Families Enjoy a Meal of Love Courtesy of DCH Subaru - Thomas F
As May came to a close, families at the Ronald McDonald House enjoyed a delicious dinner courtesy of DCH Subaru, who catered Olive Garden dinners for the 130 children and family members who were at the House. Donated meals, or "Meals of Love," are a critical part of IERMH's services to families. Many families at the House experience food insecurity as they navigate their child's health crisis. Everyone at the House was especially excited for DCH Subaru's catered Olive Garden dinner, which brought families a restaurant dining experience from the comfort of the House. DCH Subaru's support of families is a wonderful reminder that Healing Happens Together!
