Bringing the Subaru Love Promise to Life in Our Community!

Veteran's Bridge Home 2026

Since 2022, we have been providing support to this non-profit by raising awareness of their mission through paid media campaigns and with a donation made possible by our community choosing us for their purchase and service needs.

This year's campaign runs through Veterans Day. How does your support help us help VBH? Veterans Bridge Home connects veterans and their families to the resources, stability, and community support they need to thrive after military service.

Many Veterans earn just enough to be excluded from receiving help from public assistance programs but are still at risk for homelessness - having to choose between a car repair, food or a family emergency, rent or mortgage payments.

Veterans Bridge Home is the leading organization in our region providing support and services that help veterans successfully transition to civilian life. Use this link if you would like to donate directly to this organization:

Spreading Warmth and Love

Imagine walking in the cold without a coat, shoes, or socks. Unfortunately, this is a harsh reality for many children and adults experiencing homelessness or urgent need situations across the country, including right here in Mecklenburg County.

At Subaru South Charlotte, we believe that helping others is the foundation of a strong community. That's why we are proud to support individuals and families in urgent need through our Subaru Loves to Help® initiative. This season, we're partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit dedicated to connecting children with the resources they need to thrive.

We're excited to visit a local organization to provide brand-new coats, shoes, and socks to children in urgent need. By the end of this year, Subaru and retailers like us will have provided more than 130,000 children across the country with these crucial items. These essential items not only keep children protected, warm, and dry but also have a significant impact on their mental and emotional well-being.

As the largest automotive supporter of Operation Warm, Subaru is committed to making a difference. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help efforts, we've helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need so far.

Through the Subaru Loves to Help initiative, we're not just providing essentials - we're spreading warmth, love, and hope to those who need it most.

Community Support Eligibility & Request Guidelines

Community is at the heart of everything we do. As a locally owned Subaru retailer, we believe in showing up for the people and organizations who strengthen the Greater Charlotte region and the South Carolina Piedmont. That commitment is more than a program - it's a promise.


We're grateful for the nonprofits who do the daily work of care, connection and long term impact. And because we take that responsibility seriously, we focus our support on established, mission driven organizations with a clear purpose, a proven track record, and a demonstrated commitment to the communities we share.


Eligibility for Support


To ensure our contributions make the greatest impact, we partner exclusively with registered 501(c)(3) nonprofits serving the Greater Charlotte region and the South Carolina Piedmont communities of York and Lancaster Counties. All organizations must be in good standing with both the IRS and the Secretary of State in North Carolina or South Carolina.


To be considered, requests must be submitted in writing and include:

  • Current 501(c)(3) determination letter
  • Proof of good standing with the NC or SC Secretary of State
  • Your mission statement and who you serve
  • A brief history of your programs, community activation, and documented impact
  • Links to an active website and social media channels

We focus on established organizations with a demonstrated record of service. While we appreciate every effort to strengthen our community, we are not able to support individuals, start ups without documented activity, or nonprofits that are not in compliance with state or federal requirements. We also look for partners with a broad base of support, as we cannot serve as a sole or primary source of funding.


Our goal is simple: to invest in nonprofits that are already making a measurable difference in the communities we proudly call home.

Subaru Loves to Care

This is our 8th year delivering warmth and hope to our neighbors and their families who are receiving treatment at area infusion centers. Since 2020, we have partnered with the St. Jude Affiliate Clinic at Novant Health Hemby Children's Hospital. In addition to providing warm blankets, we also deliver message of hope cards and patient care kits that include activities and items to help provide comfort during what can be long visits. In partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, we look forward to donating these items each year and letting those battling cancer know that we care through the #SubaruLovesToCare pillar of the Subaru Love Promise.
Subaru South Charlotte Adopts
Classrooms at Sterling Elementary
School, Supporting Students in Need

Subaru South Charlotte today announced its continued support to make a difference in the lives of students in Charlotte and Pineville by "adopting" or providing teachers with much-needed funding to select which supplies would make the biggest impact in their classrooms. In partnership with Subaru of America, Inc. and AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru South Charlotte adopted 10 classrooms at Sterling Elementary School as part of the national Subaru Loves Learning® initiative. 

 

Subaru South Charlotte believes that all students deserve an equal and fair opportunity at a quality education. Throughout the month of August, Subaru South Charlotte and more than 630 participating Subaru retailers nationwide will provide high-needs schools with funding for school supplies and resources to help their students thrive in the classroom. As of this year, Subaru and its retailers will have supported more than 750,000 students nationwide and are proud to be the largest corporate supporter of AdoptAClassroom.org. 

 

According to AdoptAClassroom.org, 92% of teachers across the country have students whose families cannot afford to purchase any school supplies for their children. With support from Subaru South Charlotte as part of the Subaru mission to be More Than a Car Company®, students in Charlotte, NC will have access to the tools and resources they need to be successful.

This is the eighth year of this program. Initially providing STEM-related books, the program transitioned to flexible funding in 2021. We have offered support financially and through volunteerism in areas such as tutoring, mobile food pantries and teacher appreciation since 2016.
