Helping Children Put Their Best Foot Forward!

The family at Dyer Subaru in Vero Beach knows that a child simply cannot be confident or succeed in school when she is cold, hungry, or aching because the shoes she is wearing are two sizes too small. That’s why Dyer Subaru supports Operation Warm, and this month, that special pairing helped match local children in need with a chance to be fitted with brand-new shoes that will offer comfort and protection while helping to build confidence, too. It’s all part of Subaru’s Share the Love commitment to the community they serve.

Dyer Subaru and Operation Warm worked with the Hope for Families Center in Vero Beach, and the result left all participants breathless and exhilarated. “Most of the kids had never had their feet measured or gone through the process of getting a new pair of shoes,” said Lydia Lander, Marketing and Events Coordinator for Hope for Families Center. “That’s one little life skill that goes by the wayside when homeless,” she added. The process was equally rewarding for the staff members at Dyer Subaru, who helped the children measure their feet and find the perfect shoe to fit their style and size. To say that the kids walked a little taller as they left the event would be a bit of an understatement; they squealed, shrieked, jumped, and sprinted off in their new athletic shoes, ready to take on the world with more comfort, energy, and confidence. And that was exactly the point.

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?
