Happy Tails - Janeen B
In October 2025, Friendship Subaru of Beckley proudly partnered with the Humane Society of Raleigh County for the Subaru Loves Pets initiative. This collaboration aimed to make a significant impact on the lives of animals in need. With help form us and the ASPCA a generous donation of $4,000, the Humane Society was able to provide essential veterinary care, prepare animals for adoption, and cover various needs. During this event, 29 animals15 dogs and 14 catsfound themselves in the spotlight, with a special focus on the "underdogs"our senior pets and those with special needs, we had 3 of those adopted this time around! One such underdog was Cuban, a sweet and gentle soul who had spent over five long years in the care of the Humane Society. Five long years - five years of watching new tails come in and happy tails wag their way out as another found their second chance. Still Cuban and the staff never lost hope: Cuban remained patient and hopeful and was always such a good boy, then it finally happened. Thanks to the Subaru Loves Pets initiative, Cuban's luck changed, and he finally found his forever home. Melody Davis, our partner and the administrative assistant and Outreach Coordinator at the Humane Society, shared, "Together, we are turning second chances into forever homes. We are deeply grateful for this partnership with Friendship Subaru of Beckley." Without your help this wouldn't be possible and we are so grateful! This impact report highlights the profound difference that community support and collaboration can make. And for Cuban, his story is a beautiful testament to the power of love and perseverance.
Little Gifts, Big Smiles - Janeen B
This holiday season, Friendship Subaru of Beckley proudly partnered with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves' annual Toys for Tots campaign, joining forces to bring joy and hope to underprivileged children throughout southern West Virginia. Together, we celebrated the true spirit of giving back one toy, one smile, and one act of kindness at a time. For decades, Toys for Tots has been a beacon of generosity and compassion. Since its founding in 1947, the program has delivered over 780 million toys to children across America. Managed each year by the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves, the organization's mission is simple yet profound: to deliver hope to children at Christmastime and beyond. Families in need can apply for gifts through their local Marine Corps Toys for Tots chapter, ensuring that every donation finds its way into the hands of children who need it most. Here at Friendship Subaru of Beckley, our customers and staff went above and beyond to support this year's drive. The dealership's showroom quickly transformed into a cheerful mountain of generosity filled with backpacks brimming with toys, boxes of games and dolls, and gifts for boys and girls of all ages. One customer even brought in a few bicycles, making the pile of presents even more exciting! When it came time to deliver the toys, the Friendship Subaru team loaded everything up and took it to our official Toys for Tots drop-off location, knowing that each toy represented a smile waiting to happen. The Marines, always prepared for anything, also maintain a reserve of presents to respond to emergencies like fires, floods, or family crises providing comfort and hope when families need it most. Through community partnerships, corporate sponsorships, and the tireless work of volunteers, the Toys for Tots program ensures that no child is forgotten during the holidays. Friendship Subaru of Beckley is deeply honored to assist our local Marine Corps Reserves in this mission and we're proud to report that this year's collection was one of our largest yet, spreading countless smiles across our region. From all of us at Friendship Subaru of Beckley and Toys for Tots: thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, and helped make this season brighter for children and families in need. Your generosity truly makes a difference. If you or your business would like to become a Toys for Tots drop-off site, simply contact your local U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots chapter they'll be happy to help you join this incredible effort. Because at the end of the day, it's not just about toys it's about hope, community, and the joy of giving back.
Seniors Sleigh the Holidays - Janeen B
There is something timeless about friendship, especially the kind that warms a winter day and brings people together in the spirit of giving. This Christmas, Friendship Subaru of Beckley joined the Raleigh County Commission on Aging RCCA and our senior friends for their annual Christmas celebration. The event was filled with laughter, music, and the sweet scent of homemade baked goods. A Celebration of Community and Care Friendship Subaru was honored to be invited to the Christmas party, where staff brought giveaways, joined in the festivities, and spent time enjoying dessert and conversation with the many seniors who make Raleigh County such a special place. The event reflected the heart of Subarus Love Promise, a commitment to serve and uplift local communities through real personal connection. Supporting Seniors All Year Long The Raleigh County Commission on Aging and our senior friends both play vital roles in enriching the lives of local seniors. The Commission provides programs and services that keep older adults active and connected, including daily and weekly activities, adult day services, computer assistance, and fitness programs that help promote healthy living and independence. Through the Meals on Wheels program, the Commission ensures that nutritious meals are delivered across the county every day. They carefully track each clients food preferences, where to leave each meal, and even carry treats for the many pets they meet along their routes. It is a thoughtful system that provides not only nourishment but also comfort and consistency for those who may live alone. Our senior friends add another layer of care and compassion to the community. Their volunteers and members are often on the front lines, delivering meals to local churches for holidays, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Their commitment ensures that no one is forgotten, with turkey dinners and all the traditional fixings finding their way to those who might otherwise go without. The Gift of Time and Togetherness Amid the laughter, music, and desserts, the celebration served as a meaningful reminder that time is precious and that the moments we share in kindness matter deeply. Many seniors find a second family within the Commission and our senior friends programs. As families grow older and children move away, these community connections become a vital source of love, support, and belonging. For Friendship Subaru, this partnership represents more than just a seasonal event. Many of the seniors who take part in these programs are also valued Subaru customers. Meeting them face to face, rather than through digital screens or phone calls, brings a refreshing personal touch that reflects the dealerships deep commitment to community relationships. A Shared Commitment to Love and Service As the evening came to a close and the last slices of pie were enjoyed, one thing was clear Friendship Subaru, the Raleigh County Commission on Aging, and our senior friends all share the same mission. They believe in caring for people, strengthening community ties, and making a difference in everyday lives. Whether through a warm meal, a friendly conversation, or a joyful Christmas party, these groups remind us that community is not just about where we live but about how we care for one another. Because when you give your time and your heart, you do not just serve your community, you become part of it.
Together We Serve - Janeen B
We're thrilled to share that our wonderful partners at The Mountaineer Food Bank had put out an urgent request with Raleigh Counties Councilman at Large for additional volunteers needed immediately! As being in her Go-To list we at Friendship Subaru came and brought many with us. Due to the amazing increase in donations, we were expecting two additional semi-trailers filled with all the essentials - turkey's, hams, bags of potatoes, bread, deserts and more! This was all in addition to the regular donations of non-perishable food, frozen meat and the 20lb bags of dog and cat food. We seemed to be all set to make a HUGE impact. We are proud to support Raleigh County and surrounding areas, and thankfully, the weather was on our side with a beautiful break this late in November. The sunny skies made the day even more enjoyable and productive. We ended up having so many volunteers, including many from Friendship Subaru, helping out with stations set ups, umbrellas/small canopies, distribution sections for each lane, car line up order and the whole process in which it takes to make this run smoothly. We had over 500 recipients in cars to serve, efficiently and quickly. The camaraderie and joyful banter made this day truly special, and it was heartwarming to see volunteers hugging and greeting old friends as they all paired up to work certain stations together. It was a successful and glorious day, and the impact we made will resonate for a long time to come.
Gobble, Giggles and Good Times - Janeen B

We are beyond excited to partner with our friends at The Raleigh County Commission on Aging, one of our hometown charities, and to celebrate in the most heartwarming way.

Halloween Hoot! - Janeen B
This Halloween, Friendship Subaru of Beckley transformed into a festive wonderland in partnership with a few local vendors and our friends from our local 103CIR radio station. Their broadcast brought excitement and created a need to stop by, our Trunk or Treat brought over 200 excited kids and their families for a Spooktacular evening. As the sun set, trunks lined up with creative and spooky decorations, offering treats, tricks and smiles. We had a few employees that decided to dress up in costume, set up and decorate their trunks and handed out some homemade treats. Our Friendship Subaru detail staff painted and put together a Punch a Pumpkin game with prizes as well as working the game themselves. Everyone seemed to be having the greatest time while moving from game to game, snacking and listening to the Halloween music playing. We had one specific trunk that stuck out a little more than the others, it was called Pick or Treat. The kids either chose to put their hand up the nose and Pick a treat or the nose would shoot in out at them. This worked out great with the adults and the kids absolutely loved the concept and thought it was the funniest thing ever! The event concluded with a thrilling Halloween Costume Contest with first, second and third place prizes that had everyone cheering. We also had other drawings for Bikes, Gift Cards and an Xbox, adding an extra layer of fun. And for those who needed a little extra energy, we had cotton candy being made and handed out and a kids bouncy jump house to help keep the kids entertained. A night was filled with laughter, community spirit, family, and a touch of Halloween magic. Making it a memorable celebration for everyone involved!

Clean Sweep - Janeen B
In the Heart of Beckley, In our own neighborhood, a few team members from Friendship Subaru had noticed something that stood out: a major stretch of road littered with so much debris and trash. It had never before been like this, as a few of us travel that route many times a day, and as they got to work and were engaged in conversation one decided to reach out. Determined to take action and make a difference, a few of our crew contacted our local Councilwoman At Large, Sherrie Hunter, who is also the Director of the Recycling Center and the Raleigh County SW Authority. She invited them over, gave them Vests, Grabbers, Bags and the contact for the Public Works of Raleigh County to pick up the bags from the neighborhood clean-up. With enthusiasm and teamwork they had filled over 8 bags for this small stretch of road. WOW what a difference! They literally swept through the area, leaving it a lot cleaner and greener. It was just a small act, but it made a BIG difference and it showcased their commitment to their community. This is what pride in your Home is all about, if we don't step up and help out what's to say the next generation will. It's about teaching and passing down the sense of ownership and to take the initiative to get things done, don't sit and wait for someone else to do it. Get out there, make a difference and get involved, it is not going to clean itself. By doing this we are encouraging our young adults what they should be doing and handing them the reigns. Teach them to take initiative, and how and who to contact, for this will be theirs to care for in the near future. Let's hope we leave a legacy to be proud of.

Tree Extravaganza - Janeen B
This year, Friendship Subaru of Beckley was thrilled to partner with The Arbor Day Foundation as part of our Subaru Loves the Earth initiative. We received over 100 beautiful trees to give to our valued customers. Through a special email selection, customers were randomly chosen to reserve their tree. They had their choice of 5 different types indigenous to this area, wee had beautiful Tulip Poplars, Red Buds, Serviceberry, Black Tulipa and River Birch. Recipients picked their tree of choice and the order was sent. When the trees arrived in early April, they were divided into species, watered and taken care of well into having their first buds and blooms. As the reservations came in they were tagged with "Reserved For" signs just waiting for their pick up date. We actually had to stop the reservations due to the amount of service customers that had requested them here while in person. We decided to have a full blown Tree Extravaganza here the weekend of April 20th. Customers came in with their email to scan, in picking them up most allowed us to take a nice picture of them with their Tree.

We understand that something as simple as a warm pair of socks or a well-fitting pair of shoes can make a world of differencehelping kids stay comfortable, confident, and ready to take on the day. Our commitment goes beyond just donations. Friendship Subaru team members have come together to personally distribute these essential items, ensuring that every child receives not just footwear, but also warmth, care, and encouragement. By working alongside local organizations and volunteers, we strive to create a positive impact that strengthens our community. The smiles on their faces are worth it! At Friendship Subaru, we are more than just a car companywe are a company that cares. Through Subaru Loves to Help, we will continue to support families, uplift those in need, and drive meaningful change. Thank you to Operation Warm and everyone involved in this incredible effort. Together, we can make a lasting differenceone pair of shoes, one pair of socks, and one act of kindness at a time.
