Community benefits from the Subaru Love Promise
Did you know that every time you have your Subaru serviced or purchase a Subaru vehicle, a donation is made to help a local charity in Indian River or St. Lucie Counties? That means every oil change at Dyer Subaru helps the community – and the folks who work there wouldn’t have it any other way. That’s because at Dyer Subaru, everyone is committed to the Subaru Love Promise, a vision coupled with action to show love and respect to all people at every interaction. The Subaru Love Promise believes in being a positive force in the communities, not just with donations, but with actions that set an example for others to follow. The Subaru Love Promise has five core pillars — Environment, Health, Education, Pets, and Community — and the Subaru Share the Love® Event, aims to create change in the areas we and our owners care about the most. Subaru Share the Love retailers have donated more than $256 million and supported over 2,100 hometown charities, so when you get an oil change or buy a car during December or January at Dyer Subaru in Vero Beach, you’re also helping LaPorte Farms and Little Birthday Angels, two wonderful charities founded and working right here in our community.
Little Birthday Angels had its start in 2014 when Brian and Angel Pietsch and their son, Hunter and Seth, learned that a local homeless shelter did not have funds available to celebrate the birthday of a young resident. The family gathered friends and neighbors to help make a birthday celebration happen and then simply continued finding a way to celebrate birthdays for many homeless children in the community, working with shelters, schools, and homeless foundations. It is a gift of love that helps children feel celebrated and valued in the community, and every time you get an oil change, have your car serviced at Dyer Subaru, or purchase a vehicle there, you’re helping to continue sharing the love.
LaPorte Farms petting farm is a LaPorte Farms petting farm is a uniquely beautiful farm located in Sebastian, which was established in 1994 by Sebastian resident Laura LaPorte. Laura grew up on a farm with cattle, goats, chickens and horses, and her love for animals is carried out today in this meticulously-maintained, handicap-accessible five-acre farm which provides a safe environment for individuals and families of all ages and abilities to enjoy nature and interacting with animals. At LaPorte Farms, children (of all ages) create lifelong memories and share moments of joy and togetherness. LaPorte Farms becomes a magical place at Christmas-time, too, with decorations and fun for all, and the therapeutic benefits of being around animals helps make this family farm an experience of love and healing for all.
Dyer Subaru is active in the community in so many ways, so it is only natural for them to participate in Subaru’s Share the Love Program by diving in and helping to continue to make Indian River and St. Lucie Counties an even better place to live and work. How wonderful that just by having your car serviced or choosing to purchase your next vehicle at Dyer Subaru, you’re also helping to do the same. And isn’t that what community is really all about?
