Love In Action: A story of compassion, remembrance and hope. - Staci C
Two weeks ago, Tom, Sonya, and an incredible group from DCH Subaru joined us at Loma Linda Cancer Center to hand out blankets to patients fighting cancer. In true Sonya fashion, they didn't just bring blankets—they showed up with Nothing Bundt Cakes, hugs, smiles, and hearts ready to love on everyone they met. There was one person I knew would make this day especially emotional. Tammy, one of the nurse coordinators, recently lost her husband to acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We only learned about his battle last year during one of our blanket deliveries. Walking through those doors knowing she was carrying such a profound loss felt incredibly heavy because I know that road all too well. Five years ago, on the day my daughter Addi was diagnosed with AML, that night in the ICU my friend gave me a butterfly. I didn't know then how deeply that small gift would come to represent my daughter's journey. Later in Addi's journey she actually told me she would come back as a butterfly, which is why it means so much to me. Seventeen months later, Addi went home to be with Jesus, and ever since, butterflies have reminded me that love never ends and that my girl is always with me. As we stood talking that morning, Sonya quietly walked over and handed me a small gift bag. Inside was a beautiful butterfly necklace and a card signed by everyone at DCH Subaru. I couldn't hold back the tears, she remembered, she wasn't just showing up for everyone at Loma Linda, she was showing up for me too. It wasn't just a necklace. It was love. It was remembrance. It was kindness. It was people who chose to see someone else's heart and meet them there. That's who DCH Subaru is. People often talk about Subaru's Love Promise, but Sonya doesn't just talk about it—she lives it. Every single day. In every conversation, every partnership, every act of service, she reminds people that compassion isn't a campaign. It's a way of life. This year, DCH Subaru made an incredible $25,000 donation to Blood Cancer United, helping move us one step closer to our bold goal of creating one million more years of life by 2030 through blood cancer research, patient support, and advocacy. They are also stepping into an incredibly meaningful role as the Light The Night Blood Cancer United Mission Chariot sponsor, where they will start and lead the walk alongside survivors, caregivers, and bereaved families. That moment, walking together, honoring every story, every fight, and every life touched by blood cancer will be a powerful reflection of the heart they bring to everything they do. But if you ask me, their greatest gift isn't measured in dollars. It's measured in the moments. The moments they show up when people are hurting. The moments they bring hope into hospital rooms. The moments they make people feel seen, remembered, and loved. If something is happening in our community and people need help, chances are you'll find Tom, Sonya, and the DCH Subaru team there—not because they have to, but because that's simply who they are. They don't just make a promise. They live it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reminding all of us what love in action truly looks like. We are so grateful for DCH Subaru and Sonya. Until there's a cure, Staci Conely
A Day of Second Chances - Molly S
On Saturday, June 20, the Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center partnered with DCH Subaru of Riverside for a special adoption event focused on creating more opportunities for pets to find loving homes. Thanks to DCH Subaru's generosity, all adoption fees were sponsored throughout the event, helping remove financial barriers and encouraging more families to open their hearts to a pet in need. Their team, including the General Manager and Subaru Loves Promise Coordinator, joined us onsite to celebrate the day and connect with adopters, volunteers, and animal lovers throughout the community. Guests enjoyed Subaru swag, refreshments, and sweet treats while meeting adoptable dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. Most importantly, they met those pets whose lives would soon be changed for the better. By the end of the event, 18 pets had been adopted — including 8 dogs and puppies and 10 cats and kittens. Each adoption represents more than a happy ending. It creates space and resources to help the next animal in need, strengthens the bond between pets and people, and moves us closer to a community where every adoptable pet has the opportunity to thrive. We are deeply grateful to DCH Subaru of Riverside for their continued partnership and dedication to animal welfare. Through initiatives like Subaru Loves Pets®, they help turn ordinary Saturdays into life-changing days for animals and the families who welcome them home. Together, we're creating more second chances, one adoption at a time.
🍊Giving Back, One Orange at a Time🍊 - Angela J
The DCH Subaru Team recently partnered with Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino to help provide fresh, nutritious fruit for local families. Together, they spent the morning harvesting oranges for our organization's fresh food choice pantry. Helping ensure families have access to healthy food while they are out of school for the summer. Thanks to the hard work of the team, they were able to donate 855 pounds of fresh oranges to support families throughout our community. Fresh fruit plays an important role in children's nutrition, and DCH Subaru is a proud supporter always willing to help make a difference for our neighbors in need, caring for our community, and helping to create a healthier future for everyone. 💙🍊 #SubaruLovesToHelp #DCHSubaru #WeFeedTheIE #FARSB #CommunityMatters #MoreThanACarCompany
The Face of Hunger - Angela J
The face of hunger is often hidden, largely consisting of working families, children, and seniors. The majority of individuals facing hunger often live in suburban neighborhoods rather than on a city street. Many individuals must compromise on the quality of food they eat because they lack the resources or know-how to feed their families healthy food, and know where to get help. At Feeding America Riverside | San Bernardino (FARSB), we depend on donors to help in these areas. Events like ABC7's Feed SoCal are imperative to bringing more food to those who need it most. We are incredibly grateful to our partners at DCH Subaru of Riverside for their generous support and commitment to our community. Their remarkable donation during the ABC7 Feed SoCal event will help provide 160,000 meals to individuals and families facing food insecurity throughout our region. This contribution is more than a donation - it is hope for families, nourishment for children, and a powerful reminder of what can be accomplished when businesses invest in the well-being of their communities. Thank you, DCH Subaru and the SOA Southern California Zone, for stepping up in a meaningful way and helping make a lasting difference in the lives of so many. Together we are creating stronger, healthier communities, one meal at a time! #SubaruLovesToHelp #FeedingFamilies #MakingADifference

DCH Subaru Delivers Gift to Support RMHIE Families - Heather M
When the DCH Subaru Team arrived at Ronald McDonald House Inland Empire, they brought more than just a check, they brought continued hope for the families we serve. Through their annual Share the Love Campaign, they presented an incredible gift totaling $27,000 to sponsor a room at the House. This is DCH Subaru's fourth room sponsorship at Ronald McDonald House Inland Empire! This generous contribution will help us maintain and improve our residences, ensuring families have a comfortable, supportive place to stay while their children receive care. Over the past four years, DCH Subaru has been a driving force behind our housing services, even sponsoring four rooms that provide rest and refuge to families during some of their most challenging times. During their visit, the team also took part in a meaningful tradition by adding their handprints to our community wall. Each print serves as a reminder that it takes many hands working together to uplift our families and strengthen our community. We are deeply grateful to DCH Subaru for their continued partnership and for helping us keep families close when it matters most.

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.

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.
