Did Summit Subaru El Cajon go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
In a perfect world, hunger would be history and hope would be commonplace. We believe a perfect world is possible.
In 2020, Subaru and its retailers made a donation to Feeding America to provide 50 million meals to help feed people in need during the COVID-19 crisis,* making meals available at 199 local food banks across the country.
*$1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.
Subaru and our retailers are committed to protecting and preserving the Earth, not just by our words, but also by our actions.
More than 13 million pieces of hard-to-recycle waste collected and recycled through TerraCycle®.
Subaru believes we all should have a chance to lead a healthy life. That's why Subaru and its retailers, like us, partner with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) and their local hospital or cancer treatment center to give warm blankets and encouraging messages of hope, written by retailers and Subaru customers in their stores, to support patients facing cancer. Through our partnership with LLS, we've supported nearly 350,000 cancer patients nationwide. We're proud to be LLS's largest automotive donor.
Subaru and its retailers, like us, are continuing our support of education and high-needs schools in our communities through Subaru Loves Learning(R) by providing teachers across the country with funding to purchase the school supplies and resources they know are needed to help students thrive in the classroom. Through our partnership with AdoptAClassroom.org, Subaru and its retailers will have supported more than 470,000 students nationwide and are proud to be their largest corporate supporter.
Subaru believes all pets deserve a loving home. That's why Subaru and its retailers, like us, partner with a local animal shelter every October to provide direct financial assistance and host adoption events to help animals find loving homes. Through our partnership with local and national organizations, we have donated over $51 million, which has supported the adoption, rescue, transport, and health of over 420,000 animals. We're proud to be the largest corporate donor to the ASPCA.
Subaru and its retailers believe in giving back to our communities. That's why for every new vehicle sold or leased during the Subaru Share the Love event, Subaru and its retailers, like us, makes a donation to national charities that our owners care about and to over 2,100 local charities where Subaru owners live and work.
Now, after 15 years, Subaru and our retailers have donated over $256 million to charity all to give back and to make the world a better place.
Subaru and Summit Subaru El Cajon believe in making a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work. We uphold that belief through our Love Promise Community Commitment. Every month, we select inspiring stories from customers and partners from around our area who strive to support our collective commitment and feature them here.

We had such a great time at the FREE Microchip Clinic held on 9/25/24 at Summit Subaru El Cajon! In a little over three hours, we microchipped 55 pets!! In addition, we provided FREE collars and personalized tags for over 65 pets! We were amazed at the turnout, some people came from Tecate, San Marcos, and even Potrero to do this for their pets. We had people lining up before 1:30 so we were microchipping before we were even fully set up. We were able to provide this important service to the community thanks to Rone Isho, General Manager and Bexzaida Lucero, Love Promise Coordinator, at Summit Subaru El Cajon and the ASPCA! Thank you so much for all of your support!

On behalf of Lionel's Legacy Senior Dog Rescue, we'd like to thank Rone Isho General Manager and Bexzaida Lucero Love Promise Coordinator at Summit Subaru El Cajon for hosting our adoption event on October 19th. It was a big success!! We have FOUR dogs in the adoption process from that event! Hopefully they all successfully complete their two-week sniffing periods and have found their furever homes! We're so excited about the upcoming Free Microchip Clinic! Halloween can be scary for our furry friends and we see an increase in lost pets. Microchips help to reunite those lost pets with their families. We hope to have a great turnout! Thank you again for all of your help and to Subaru for their support! Subaru truly does Love Pets! -Chamille Chamille Lamb Director of Operations & Adoption Event Coordinator lionelslegacy.org | Facebook | Instagram [email protected] | 858.952.8387 Lionel's Legacy

I am deeply grateful to Summit Subaru El Cajon for their generous support and assistance during my first year of teaching. Having had the pleasure of serving as the Subaru Loves Event Coordinator for four years, Subaru Loves Learning was always my favorite event to organize. Meeting the teachers and hearing their inspiring stories was incredibly rewarding. Now, as I begin my own teaching journey, it feels surreal to be on the other side of the Subaru Loves Learning event, experiencing firsthand the support and impact we once celebrated. Bexzy and Rone have been absolutely amazing, profoundly impacting my classroom, supporting my students, and enhancing my journey as a teacher. Summit Subaru El Cajon's contributions have been invaluable. This donation, which supports my classroom, allows me to create an exceptional learning environment and provide my students with additional tools and resources to foster their academic growth. Thank you for giving me such an incredible opportunity and a great start as a first-year 2nd grade teacher. Thank you, Clarissa Gomez

I just wanted to take a quick minute to thank Rone Isho General Manager, Bexzaida Lucero Love Promise Coordinator and Summit Subaru El Cajon for your support through the Subaru Loves to Care program. The blankets and messages of hope you provide bring so much comfort to the patients and their families. Since 2016 you have made it possible to reach more than 350,00 patients with blankets, with patient care kits and with messages of support to connect them to a hole range of resources available through LLS. In our 9th year partnering together, it is really gratifying to see the impact of this program. We couldn’t do what we do without your incredible partnership. Thank you for all that you do for patients and their families. Dr. Andy Kolb, President and CEO at the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society [email protected]

Dear Rone & Bexzy, Hope this letter finds you well. At the DeTommaso Dogs we are so grateful to have been invited for the adoption event you hosted at Summit Subaru El Cajon. We met many potential future adopters & Moose, one of our adorable pups got adopted by one of your team members. It is so heartwarming to meet people who love & care for dogs in need. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for inviting our dog rescue to visit your facility recently. It was an incredibly rewarding experience for us, and we are immensely thankful for the opportunity. Witnessing the care and love all the employees exhibit towards the pets we brought was amazing. The level of professionalism and compassion displayed by your staff members was evident. Furthermore, the hospitality extended to us during our visit was truly appreciated. Your team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and we are sincerely thankful for your kindness and generosity. In closing, I want to convey our deepest appreciation for inviting us to your facility. The experience was invaluable, and it reaffirmed our belief in the power of collaboration and mutual support to help dogs in need. We look forward to staying in touch and continuing to work together towards our shared goal of providing a forever home for the animals in need. Once again, thank you for your hospitality. Warmest regards, Sincerely, Ana DeTommaso Zoraida Padilla

Hello Subaru in El Cajon, Here is the story of one of our survivors in our Transitional Housing Program. “In a world marked by hardship and challenges, a remarkable group of survivors found themselves on the receiving end of a truly heartwarming gesture. Subaru in El Cajon and Operation Warm, two compassionate organizations, came together to offer not just coats, but a tangible symbol of care and resilience. These coats became a source of comfort and inspiration, reminding the survivors that even in the face of adversity, there are still acts of kindness that can bring warmth to their lives.” Warm regards, Mariana L Diaz Domestic Violence Program Manager
