Donation of Socks for Those Experiencing Homelessness - Molly P
Staff members from Autobarn Subaru of Countryside recently donated 1,000 pairs of socks to our homelessness services agency, BEDS Plus Care located in La Grange, Illinois, and serving all of Southwest Suburban Cook County.

Temple's New Lease on Life - Robin C
Hinsdale Humane Society (HHS) is here to help the underdogs and to share stories like Temple’s with our friends at The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside. Temple came to HHS from a Southern rescue partner. Adopted a year ago, his former family abused him and then dumped him. The world is a cruel place at times for defenseless pets like Temple. But despite it all, he is a gentle, loving and sweet boy. Even with all of the trauma he has endured, he still believes and trusts in people. While the scars from the abuse he endured are almost healed, they will be a physical reminder of his past. But now, his future is bright and beautiful. He's getting love, care and the time to heal as he waits for his forever home and a second chance at a great life. Thanks to Subaru’s pledge commitments and promotions, more than 100 dogs and cats found homes during Adopt a Dog Month! We are so grateful to Subaru for spreading the word about underdogs like Temple!

The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside Brings Love and Hope to Cancer Patients - Shelby W
This July, the Autobarn Subaru of Countryside team and myself had the pleasure of delivering 80 blankets and 25 arts & craft kits to AdventHealth’s Cancer Institute in Hinsdale, IL as part of Subaru’s Loves to Care program. Items of comfort like these show support and love to their cancer patients as they navigate their diagnosis and treatment journey. Many thanks to everyone at Autobarn Subaru of Countryside for your continued support of LLS’s mission to cure blood cancers and improve the quality of life to patients and their families, and to the Cancer Institute team for all that you do for your patients! We hope these donations make your patients’ days and give hope for a brighter future!
Subaru's Love Promise to Make-A-Wish Illinois - Stephanie E
Autobarn Subaru of Countryside, its owners, employees and customers truly embrace the Share Love Promise, not just during the holiday season, but throughout the year. Make-A-Wish Illinois is extremely proud to be one of the chosen charities for their annual Share the Love promotion. During their 2020-2021 campaign, not only did they raise more than $20,000, but the owner, Gina Fisher, generously MATCHED the amount, for a total of $40,130! In May of 2022, Autobarn Subaru welcomed Wish Child Kyleigh and her father Jim to share in their celebration with Make-A-Wish. Jim shared about Kyleigh’s wish to go to Orlando to visit the theme parks where her favorite characters lived. Kyleigh’s wish experience was incredible. She was able to participate in much more than her parents initially thought. Jim said, “Her wish opened up a world of things for us, things we didn’t even know she was interested in. As a result, we’ve gone back to Florida as a family, because we know now that we can do that with her.” Thank you to everyone at Autobarn Subaru of Countryside and your amazing customers for believing in the power of a Wish! Because of supporters like you, many more children like Kyleigh will soon have their greatest wishes come true.
Sharing the Love with AMITA Health Cancer Clinic - Janet D
To our friends at The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside, THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for you generous blanket donation given to our patients here at the AMITA Health Cancer Institute in Hinsdale, IL. Your kind thoughts and words mean so much. We are so grateful that you reached out and provided warmth and comfort to so many of our patients receiving chemotherapy here at our clinic, where treatments can often last several hours. Adding an extra layer of comfort means so much to so many. Subaru, you have certainly kept your promise to be a positive force in our community and to 'Share the Love.' We are blessed to be the recipients of your kindness.
Thank you Subaru Loves to Help from BEDS Plus Care - Valerie V
A heartfelt thank you to Subaru Loves to Help! The initiative donated four boxes of warm blankets and masks that will be given to clients. Our Street Outreach team also will give the blankets and masks to those experiencing homelessness on the streets this winter. The blankets and masks will be much appreciated by those we serve during the cold winter months, and will help to block the chilly wind. We love our community partners!
Sharing the Love for the Wish Journey - Wendy S
The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside, its owners, employees, and customers truly Share the Love and embrace the power of wish, not just during the holiday season, but throughout the whole year! Make-A-Wish Illinois could not be more grateful for the support of this amazing company. Their support means that even during a global pandemic, Make-A-Wish was able to grant more than 400 life-changing wishes this past year for children in Illinois with critical illnesses. During the Share the Love 2020 Event, so many Autobarn Subaru customers who purchased or leased a Subaru selected Make-A-Wish Illinois to receive the Share the Love $250 donation, that they raised more than $20,000! And Autobarn Subaru of Countryside generously MATCHED the amount raised during the event by its customers!! And at the height of the pandemic when practically all wishes were paused, Autobarn Subaru, its owners and employees, came out in force to celebrate wish child Lyla's birthday with a car parade, presents, and a proclamation from her town that it was Lyla's Day! They truly understand that a wish is not just a fleeting moment in time, but a journey that provides hope, strength and joy to children when they need it most. This is the best Promise that Subaru and Autobarn Subaru can make to the children in our community -- that they will be there to ensure that their wish journey will be a magical experience of discovery and joy. Thank you to everyone at Autobarn Subaru of Country and all of your amazing customers for believing in the power of a Wish!
Odetta the Underdog - Deborah K
Hinsdale Humane Society is proud to share Odetta’s story with our friends at The Autobarn Subaru of Countryside. Odetta came to us from Chicago Animal Care and Control. A 7-year old pit bull with mammary tumors is a true underdog, and one we knew we had to help. There was a 50/50 chance her tumors would be benign. The only way we would know was to remove them. While some were benign, others were cancerous. But thankfully all were removed with clean margins and only a 5% chance of ever coming back. Odetta was a sweet, lovable girl who just needed her second chance at a great life. She found that second chance during Adopt a Dog Month when a family came forward to welcome her into their lives. Thanks to Subaru’s pledge commitments and promotions, we were able to find homes for 50 dogs and 81 cats! We are so grateful for the support we received from Subaru in sharing the message of helping the underdogs. Our thanks to all of you!
