Subaru REALLY loves pets - Lizeth S
I had the pleasure to attend an event that Subaru was hosting and the experience was wondeful! I was met with smiles and kindness from all the staff participating that day. I was explained the mission for the event taking place and it was very inspiring to see the great work that they do for animals in need. At the end I was sent home with a goody box for my sweet boy, Meeko! I can't wait to have the apportunity to visit Subaru during another event that I know will change more lives!
A Little Tree With a Big Meaning 🌳 - Ariel K
I had such a great experience attending one of Subaru's tree giveaway events through a friend who works there. I honestly thought I was just stopping by to pick up a free tree, but it ended up being such a sweet and memorable experience. I loved that Subaru gave people in the community an opportunity to take a tree home and actually grow something that will be around for years to come. I was able to choose a tree, bring it home, and plant it myself, which made the whole experience feel a little more personal than a typical giveaway. It's such a simple idea, but I think that's what made it so nice. Every time I see the tree growing, I'll remember where it came from and the experience of bringing it home. I really appreciated seeing a company do something that felt positive for both the community and the environment. Definitely one of the cooler giveaways I've participated in, and I'm excited to watch my little tree grow over the years. 🌱
PAWS loves Ciocca Subaru - Cory T
PAWS' friendship with Ciocca Subaru began even before the dealership officially opened its doors in 2021, and in the years since, their team has become a truly valued part of the PAWS community. Over the years, Ciocca has helped shine a spotlight on animals searching for homes through monthly adoptable pet features and slideshows in the dealership, while regularly creating opportunities to introduce their customers to PAWS' lifesaving work. Their support has never felt like a once-a-year partnership — it's an ongoing commitment to helping Philadelphia's pets and the people who love them. That commitment is especially evident each October during Subaru Loves Pets month, and last year's celebration was one of our favorites yet. Ciocca welcomed PAWS back to the dealership for a festive adoption event featuring eight adoptable cats and dogs — Pony, Applesauce, Molly, Rebel, Nermal, June, July, and August — who spent the day meeting new friends and soaking up plenty of attention from Ciocca customers, staff, and families. The team made the day even more special with a Halloween Trunk-or-Treat, decorated trunks filled with goodies for kids, and free food and beverages for attendees. They even created their own custom "Chewbaru" dog toys, which were handed out to supply guests and quickly became a crowd favorite. Ciocca also organized a pet food and supply drive, and staff and attendees arrived with generous donations of cat and dog food, litter, bedding, and other essentials to support animals throughout PAWS' programs. Ciocca is always looking for new ways to help, whether that means finding homes for adoptable pets, collecting supplies for animals in need, or simply making sure every PAWS pet who visits their dealership feels welcome. Their staff is consistently warm, enthusiastic, and incredibly accommodating, and tears our volunteers like friends and our adoptable animals like honored guests. And over the years, several PAWS staff members have even purchased Subaru cars from the Ciocca team! We are incredibly grateful to have grown alongside Ciocca Subaru over the past five years and to have a partner that continues to find meaningful, creative ways to champion our mission. Every pet they feature, event they host, donation they collect, and new person they introduce to PAWS expands the circle of people working alongside us to save and serve Philadelphia's pets. They are a fantastic partner to have in our corner, and we're thankful for everything Ciocca Subaru does to help animals in our community feel loved.
YMCA of Eastern Delaware County - Share the Love with Sneakers and Socks - Danielle M
Our YMCA is immensely thankful for the new sneakers and socks we received during our February 2026 Operation Warm event, made possible by Ciocca dealerships and Subaru. The joy radiating from the children and their families was genuinely heartwarming, as these simple gifts of new sneakers and socks brought them great happiness and comfort. This generous contribution not only provided essential items but also fostered a sense of community and care. Parents expressed their gratitude, knowing their children would step into the Spring season brimming with confidence and excitement. The event went beyond merely distributing sneakers and socks; it was a joyful celebration of kindness and unity. Our staff assisted each child in finding the perfect fit by letting them choose their favorite colors, ensuring they left feeling valued and special. The event was heartwarming. The afternoon was filled with smiles, connections, and a beautiful reminder of how we can truly make a meaningful difference in the lives of those around us when we come together. Additionally, receiving a new pair of sneakers enables families to allocate their limited financial resources to other essential needs. The success of this event reaffirmed the YMCA's dedication to its mission of strengthening the community through acts of kindness and compassion, a feat only achievable through strong partnerships like those with Ciocca dealerships and Subaru and Operation Warm.
Wrapped in Hope: A Day of Comfort, Care, and Connection - Madison F
The Eastern PA-Delaware Region of Blood Cancer United recently partnered with Ciocca Subaru of Philadelphia, alongside the dedicated nurses and staff of Penn Medicine, for a special day focused on bringing comfort and encouragement to patients at the Clifton Center for Medical Breakthroughs. Inspired by the Subaru Loves to Care program, the team came together to deliver warm blankets, patient care packages, and heartfelt messages of hope to individuals facing cancer treatment. From the moment volunteers arrived, the day was filled with kindness, compassion, and connection. Every blanket represented warmth, every care package offered comfort, and every handwritten note served as a reminder that patients are supported by a community that cares deeply about their well-being. As patients received their gifts, smiles spread throughout the center. The messages of hope provided words of encouragement, strength, and resilience, while the presence of volunteers, nurses, and staff created meaningful moments of connection. Together, they helped brighten the day for patients and their families during a challenging time in their lives. What began as a delivery of blankets and care packages quickly became a celebration of hope and humanity. Patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and volunteers shared conversations, gratitude, and uplifting moments that highlighted the power of community support. The partnership between Blood Cancer United and Ciocca Subaru of Philadelphia demonstrated the incredible impact that simple acts of kindness can have. It was a day filled with love, hope, and encouragement, leaving everyone involved with a renewed sense of optimism and a reminder that no one should face cancer alone.
Love Beyond the Purchase! - Kristen W
Sometimes God allows an ordinary day to become the beginning of something much greater. I came to the dealership with no intention of buying a new car. I was there to have my 2017 Outback serviced. When I learned that the repairs were going to cost more than I expected, I had a decision to make. Because I didn't have a car payment, I was willing to invest in the repairs and keep my vehicle. After all, my car was older, but it was paid for. I was simply indecisive about what made the most sense. That's where David, my service representative, stepped in. David took the time to help me think through the pros and cons of repairing my older car versus considering another option. He wasn't pushy. He listened, answered my questions, and gave me the information I needed to make an informed decision. I was still undecided. Then David introduced me to Gabby. What began as a conversation about a vehicle quickly became something much more meaningful. Gabby was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding. I was working while I was at the dealership, so I didn't have the time to devote to car shopping. Yet Gabby never made me feel rushed or pressured. She simply met me where I was, listened, and patiently walked alongside me through the process. As we talked, Gabby learned about my ministry and my heart for serving people who are underserved, especially those living on the streets. I eventually drove away from the dealership in my new 2026 Subaru Outback (Emmy Pearl) — but the story didn't end when I left the lot. In fact, that's where love beyond the purchase began. She donated 50 reusable tote bags and hand sanitizer to support the work of the ministry. But she didn't stop there. Gabby also connected me with Laura — someone I had never even met. Laura generously donated more than 1,000 organic tampons, which are now being distributed to women living on the streets, women in shelters, and underserved students who may otherwise go without these basic necessities. This is what I call love beyond the purchase. The purchase of a car became a connection. The connection became a conversation. The conversation became an opportunity to serve. And that opportunity became a blessing for people who are often overlooked. I am deeply grateful for David, Gabby, and Laura for showing up and allowing God to use each of you in such a meaningful way. Thank you for reminding me that kindness doesn't have to end when the transaction is complete. Sometimes, the greatest blessing begins after the purchase. Thank you for allowing God to use each of you to bless me — and, through me, to be a blessing to others. This is love beyond the purchase! Sincerely, Kristen Warthen

A Spectacular Day of Sneaker Shopping at our Lansdowne YMCA Early Learning Center! - Danielle M
Sneaker Shopping at School! Thanks to the generous initiative of Subaru Loves to Help and Operation Warm, children in our Lansdowne YMCA Early Learning program enjoyed a fun sneaker shopping experience right in their classroom. With the assistance of their teachers and staff, they were able to select their favorite sneakers! One option was a vibrant pine green, showcasing Eagles spirit. Another featured a classic red and white, ideal for the Phillies baseball season. Many children also gravitated toward the pink or mint green sneakers, perfectly timed for Spring. This initiative goes far beyond the colors of the sneakers, it gives children and families a boost, ensuring that children can step into their day with confidence and pride. The sneakers not only provided comfort and style but also served as a reminder of the community's support and care. This heartwarming event was a testament to the powerful impact of community partnerships, demonstrating how acts of kindness can create lasting memories and instill a sense of hope and positivity in young hearts. Parents, too, expressed their appreciation for the initiative, noting how such gestures reinforce the importance of community and togetherness. As the event came to a close, the children left with more than just sneakers—they carried with them the warmth and kindness of a community that believes in their potential. The ripple effect of this event will undoubtedly inspire future acts of kindness, fostering an environment where every child feels seen, valued, and loved.
