Comfort in the Infusion Center - Pam Y
Johnstons Subaru owner, Steve Jardine and his GM Christopher Lee delivered two Subaru's worth of fuzzy blankets. Minutes after the attached photo was taken a patient being infused reached for the blanket and hugged it with her eyes shut blissfully. It was a moment of comfort in a cold room of ill patients.

Serving Our Community Since 1982 - Robin M
You'd think that no one should be in need in the greatest country in the world! But the number of unemployed or under-employed people continues to increase. The Montgomery Food Pantry has served our community with dignity for more than 40 years by providing nutritious food to those in need – foods like meat, milk, eggs, bread, fruits and vegetables. We also provide baby food & diapers, personal hygiene items and pet food whenever possible. While supply issues and price increases continue to challenge us, funding our efforts is one thing we rarely have to be concerned with. The generous donations we have received from Subaru’s Share the Love program and the incredible support of Steve Jardine and his dealership Johnston’s Subaru allow us to continue to provide for our community and we thank them from the bottom of our hearts!

Linus - Gwen K
Linus was a stray cat that gwen (of reenies rabbit rescue) trapped over at mountain lodge park - a low income housing area. There were literally hundreds of strays in this area, and sadly, still are. Gwen would drive over early in the morning and just leave a trap set, never knowing who would wander into it, that she would check later in the afternoon. Well on this particular day, it was Linus. Gwen was shocked to find such a well adjusted and friendly cat waiting for her in the live trap. She took him home, dewormed him, neutered him, and figured he would be a short term guest in the rescue’s cat room. Boy was she ever wrong. It’s been three years and many close homes later. Linus has had adopters come to look at him after seeing his profile on petfinder. But no one ever went home with him. Gwen had resigned herself to the idea that he would just be a lifer here at the rescue. On the morning of the adoption event, She planned on taking a Gorgeous long haired Russian blue to the Subaru adoption event. But for the life of her she could not get him into the carrier. On a whim she quickly grabbed Linus and jumped in the truck, speeding off to Subaru. Well this turned out to be Linus’ lucky day! After three years of being looked over, he was finally being looked at, and actually chosen… thank you Subaru, for connecting a most deserving cat with his new dad, Liam.
