Showgirl & Milea Subaru - Ashley S
Showgirl was brought to New York City Animal Care Centers this past August only days old, alone (no mom or siblings) and wasn't eating on her own. Thankfully, our Muddy Paws Rescue foster community quickly stepped up to welcome her into our care, where she could get the personalized, around the clock care and support she needed to thrive and grow. Given her age, Showgirl was initially placed under the care of our staff veterinarian, where he and his wife took on tube-feeding her every three hours, and then bottle feeding her for the next few weeks until she was strong enough to move into her full-time foster home. Showgirl was also eventually diagnosed with a defect in her right eye called microphthalmia, which means this eyeball is smaller than normal, and causes the eye to point outward instead of straight ahead. Although this means she is likely to be blind in the affected eye, it is not painful for her, and she doesn't seem to mind at all! Two months after arriving into our care, Showgirl had grown into a silly, energetic, playful puppy. As soon as Showgirl was deemed healthy enough to be available for adoption, she was scooped up by her new family the very next weekend! It is only with the ongoing support of incredible partners like Milea Subaru that we are able to welcome in special pups like Showgirl, place them in foster homes, and provide them with the supplies and care they need prior to their adoption - even if they need a little extra time before they’re ready. Thanks to the support of Milea Subaru, Showgirl (and countless other pups!) have been given the second chance they so very much deserve. Thank you, Milea Subaru!
Love and Partnership - Sidney S
On June 18th, 2025 representatives from Milea Subaru arrived at NY Presbyterian - Weill Cornell Cancer Center with boxes of blankets for their patients. This is an act of kindness they have done for multiple years now, in conjunction with Blood Cancer United (formerly Leukemia and Lymphoma Society). In a step further, Milea Subaru partnered with representatives from another Subaru retailer to double their blanket donation for the hospital. Thank you to Milea Subaru for a wonderful blanket donation and act of kindness for these cancer patients and their families!
Milea Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Karen D
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Bronx, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Milea Subaru is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Milea Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/17/2025, Milea Subaru donated 120 coats to Mott Haven Community Partnership. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
The power of giving back - Dan M
This year has been tough for many communities, including Mott Haven, one of New York's largest Hispanic communities. But when we come together and share resources, it builds trust with residents. During a recent coat distribution, we were able to lighten their load. By providing new coats for their kids, families no longer had to stress about affording one, especially with current unemployment challenges. We believe these small gestures can make a big difference in reducing worry and fostering community strength.
Milea Subaru Supports March of Dimes - Ellen W
Milea Subaru has once again been a generous partner to the March of Dimes through the annual Subaru Share the Love Campaign. We are extremely grateful for their continued generosity and commitment by helping to support the March of Dimes Mom & Baby Mobile Health Center. Our mobile health center facilitates collaborative partnerships across multiple sectors, helping to expand maternal and infant care in our communities, minimizing barriers to accessing care. We are able to provide on the ground maternal health programs with services aimed at bringing support, education, and care to moms and moms-to-be, in their neighborhoods. Our mission is to lead the fight for the health of all moms and babies. Our goals are to end the preventable maternal health risks and deaths, end preventable preterm birth and infant death, and close the heath equity gap. Thanks very much to the wonderful employees at Milea Subaru and their customers who are helping to share the Subaru Love promise.

Sharing Love and Bringing Adventure - Kirsten P
Milea Subaru’s continued commitment to support Make-A-Wish Metro New York over the years has been impactful to our organization and wish kids in our community, like Jaxon. Jaxon wished for adventure, and loves being outside catching bugs and playing with his cousins. His wish for a camper will allow him to go on adventures in the outdoors with his family and in their words “…an opportunity to make countless memories together!” Wishes are more than just the moment; they have a lasting impact. 9 out of 10 wish parents saw that their child’s well being improved with a wish. It is with the support of the Milea Subaru team and sharing the love that we are able to help kids like Jaxon seek adventure and spend time with his family.
Muddy Paws Rescue: Billy - Ashley S
In June 2024, we welcomed Billy into our care from NYC Animal Care Centers after he was surrendered by his former owner who unfortunately could no longer care for him. During his four and a half months with us, Billy’s foster parents described him as sweet, silly, and surprisingly sprightly for his age. He spent most days enjoying long walks in the park, sometimes on his own four paws, and sometimes in a backpack when he needed a rest. After that, he most enjoyed long naps and pets in his person's lap. When Billy was in need of extra snuggles, he would be extra goofy and wiggle his whole body while waiting for them to give in. Like many of our golden boys and girls, Billy needed a little more time in foster care to decompress and feel comfortable outside of the shelter before finding their new adoptive family. Thankfully, Billy’s adoption day finally arrived in mid-October when his new mom arrived at one of our events, hoping to adopt a senior pup. It is only with the ongoing support of incredible partners like Milea Subaru that we are able to welcome in seniors like Billy, place them in foster homes, and provide them with the supplies and care they need prior to their adoption - even if they need a little extra time before they’re ready. Thanks to the support of Milea Subaru, Billy (and countless other pups!) have been given the second chance they so very much deserve. Thank you, Milea Subaru!

Small Acts, Big Impact: The Power of Volunteering - Dan J. M
Mott Haven Community Partnership, housed within JCCA, one of New York's oldest foster care agencies, is committed to supporting communities and empowering families. As winter approaches, many families in our community, one of the nation's poorest congressional districts, face challenges such as food insecurity, job instability, and limited resources. Many struggle to afford winter clothing for their children. Our dedicated team of community volunteers, many of whom are mothers facing similar challenges, were deeply touched by the generous donation from Milea Subaru. The act of seeing staff members personally deliver the donation highlighted the partnership's commitment to the community and inspired hope for a better future. These families expressed immense gratitude, as this kind gesture alleviated the stress of providing winter clothing for their children.
