What Is Subaru Loves to Help?
Subaru Loves to Help is part of the Subaru Love Promise, a pledge to support communities and create positive change. This initiative focuses on helping children and families in urgent need by providing essential items such as winter coats, shoes, and socks.
Through partnerships with organizations like Operation Warm®, Subaru ensures that children have the resources they need to stay warm, protected, and able to participate in school and community activities. These essentials not only meet physical needs but also provide comfort and confidence, helping children feel supported and cared for during challenging times.
At Lee’s Summit Subaru, Subaru Loves to Help is about more than providing items—it’s about showing compassion, supporting our neighbors, and making a meaningful impact in the lives of children and families in our community.
National Impact
On a national level, Subaru has made a tremendous impact through Subaru Loves to Help. By partnering with Operation Warm®, Subaru and its retailers have provided more than 130,000 brand-new coats, shoes, and socks to children in 2025 alone, helping nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need so far.
These essential items not only protect children from the cold but also support their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Access to coats, shoes, and socks can determine whether a child attends school or participates in community activities. Subaru is proud to be the largest automotive supporter of Operation Warm, ensuring that children and families in need across the country are cared for and supported.

Local Impact at Lee’s Summit Subaru
Here in Lee’s Summit, we are proud to bring Subaru Loves to Help close to home. As part of this initiative, we partnered with Operation Warm to provide brand-new winter coats to children at Hillcrest Transitional Housing, ensuring they stay warm and cared for during the colder months. Through this partnership, Lee’s Summit Subaru has supported 228 children by donating new coats and socks in collaboration with Operation Warm. For children experiencing homelessness or urgent need, having a winter coat can make all the difference in their comfort, safety, and confidence.
In a previous collaboration, we partnered with Shelter KC: A Kansas City Rescue Mission to deliver 500 pairs of socks to individuals experiencing homelessness. These past efforts highlight our ongoing commitment to supporting a variety of urgent needs within our community.
Seeing the impact of these initiatives—the smiles on children’s faces, the comfort of a warm coat, and the reassurance it provides—reminds us why Subaru Loves to Help is about more than providing essentials. It’s about standing alongside our neighbors, spreading compassion, and making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most.
