Subaru Superstore of Chandler microchip-a-thon 2023 - Barb S.

On Saturday, October 7th, the Subaru Superstore of Chandler partnered with Friends for Life Animal Rescue for the second annual microchip-a-thon, and DAPP vaccine event. Leading the charge for the Subaru Superstore of Chandler was once again, sales manager, Jack Callaghan. In an effort to circumvent any heat related challenges, the event ran from 8am-11am. Friends for Life had 2 paid vet techs, and two shifts of 15 volunteers each (a total of 30 volunteers with shifts from 7-9:30 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. to Noon to accommodate set up and tear down). Microchips were free for both cats and dogs, and DAPP vaccines were free for dogs. Local affiliate ABC 15 news covered the event live that morning with a tease at 8:00 a.m. and live remotes of 3 minutes each at 8:07 a.m. and 8:37 a.m. A total of 115 animals received services in the 3 hour time frame. A total of 23 cats and 63 dogs received microchips and 71 dogs received a DAPP vaccine. We are hopeful we have prevented 86 animals from finding their way into the shelter system, and helped 71 dogs remain free from potentially fatal diseases, and/or spreading disease.

FRIENDS FOR LIFE CHIP-A-THON - JACK C.

Well, it’s another HUGE success with our partners from FRIENDS FOR LIFE! On May 6th, 2023, we had our semi-annual Chip-A-Thon and Vaccination event. Not only does this event provide an amazing service to the community, but we nearly doubled the number of dogs, cats, and families from our last event in October 2022. This event is amazing because it provides vaccinations and ID chips for many animals who now have an opportunity for a safer, healthier life! The Subaru Love Promise® is something we all work hard at, and the events are so important, however, we have a special place in our hearts when it comes to helping our furry friends! Subaru Superstore would love to thank all the AMAZING people behind the event, starting with Barb Savoy and her hard-working team from Friends for Life. We also had over 20 volunteers from local veterinarian’s offices, and wonderful people lending a hand, just because they care! We are super excited for the Subaru Loves Pets® Event coming up October 7th 2023 and of course Friends For Life will be her again doing amazing things.

Spring Semester College Care Packing Party with Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation - Kim S.

Subaru Superstore of Chandler and Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation (AFFCF) held our spring care package packing party for the 11th consecutive semester in April of 2023. Together, volunteers packed 105 care packages for college students with foster care backgrounds to receive ahead of taking their final exams. The care packages contain notes of encouragement, treats, and self-care items. Nationwide, only 3% of students who age out of foster care will obtain a bachelor degree, therefore the support that AFFCF receives from the Subaru Superstore of Chandler and many volunteers truly makes a difference in providing students with extra support and encouragement as they work toward their goals!

Subaru Superstore and the Salvation Army assist the local homeless - Rob D.

Subaru Superstore of Chandler has had a long partnership with the Chandler Salvation Army located just two miles west of the dealership in downtown Chandler. The team at the Chandler Salvation Army has created a supportive atmosphere for local residents experiencing hardship. They have a strong array of services available to assist anyone in need. These include a large food pantry to assist those that are going hungry, after school tutoring programs are available to help the neighborhood children who would like help with their schoolwork, assistance with housing placement for those in need of a place to live, and help with those who need to find a job, as well as many other services. They are an inspiration in the Chandler community and we are fortunate provide assistance in various ways. Recently Subaru Superstore of Chandler was able to provide the team at the Salvation Army with thermal blankets and socks targeted to aid the local homeless population. Homelessness has become a growing affliction throughout the nation, and the Chandler area has a growing population of those experiencing homelessness. The two most requested items by this population are socks and blankets, and we were fortunate to be able to provide a large shipment of these to the Salvation Army to distribute to those in need. It has been a cold winter this year here by Arizona standards, so these were very well received and distributed straight to those with the greatest need. Subaru Superstore of Chandler is committed to being involved with our local community to help keep our city and state a fantastic place for everyone to live and visit. Throughout the year we will continue to assist in ways that have a positive impact, and are very thankful to the organizations that help us to get involved.

Subaru Loves the Earth - Rob D.

To celebrate Subaru loves the Earth month Subaru Superstore of Chandler participated in a clean up of Tumbleweed Park right down the street from us here in Chandler. The prior day the park hosted the annual BBQ and Beer Festival which drew more than 30,000 people for a day of fun and music. As one can imagine such a large crowd left our beautiful city park with quite mess. A group of Subaru volunteers led by Subaru District Manager Jason Hirata met at the park and helped pick up garbage left throughout the park. Together we were able to scour the park and fill many bags with debris left by the crowd. The volunteers from Subaru Superstore were happy to have the chance to play a small part in helping out to restore the park to a great place for families to enjoy.

Spring AFFCF packing party - Rob D.

It was time again for Arizona Friends of Foster Children Foundation and Subaru Superstore of Chandler to get together to pack care packages for foster children attending colleges and universities around the country. Together we made 83 packages that were sent out to help them with their end of the year exams and show that there are people thinking about them and providing support. This has become a bi-annual event, and this time there were more than 30 volunteers involved in the effort. Many of us can remember how stressful of a time the end of a school year is, and these packages hopefully make it easier to finish the year out strong. Thank you to everyone involved and we will get together again in November to do it again.
