The spirit of giving was strong this February at Walker's Renton Subaru, as they partnered with the Way Back Inn Foundation in support of Subaru Loves to Help®. During the month, the dealership donated new winter jackets for children in need within the Renton community.
The Way Back Inn Foundation is a local organization dedicated to providing emergency shelter, meals, and support services to individuals and families experiencing homelessness. Their services extend beyond basic necessities, offering programs for children, job training, and assistance with finding permanent housing. For many families, particularly during the colder months, having access to warm winter gear is crucial for their well-being.
More Than Just Cars: Giving Back to the Community
Carsyn Kniss, employee at Walker's Renton Subaru, emphasizes the importance of community involvement: "We are more than just a car dealership; we are members of the Renton community, and we believe in supporting the people who live here. It's our responsibility to give back, and Subaru Loves to Help® provides a wonderful platform to do that."
This initiative aligns perfectly with Subaru's Love Promise, a commitment to improving lives in the communities where they operate. Walker's Renton Subaru has a long history of supporting local causes, and their partnership with the Way Back Inn Foundation exemplifies their dedication to making a real difference.
Impacting Lives in Our Backyard
The donated jackets will go directly to children served by the Way Back Inn Foundation, ensuring they stay warm and comfortable during the winter months. This simple act of kindness can have a significant impact on their lives, allowing them to focus on their health, education, and well-being.
"This is awesome, he will be so excited because these are his favorite colors! We are so blessed!" said one of the parents who received a jacket for their son. "Thank you so much, all the kids just outgrew their coats so this is perfect timing!" another parent said about the impact this donation had on their lives.
