Whether they live in our homes or in the wild, Subaru is committed to keeping all animals safe and healthy.
A partner since 2008, Subaru has donated over $28 million to the ASPCA and through Subaru Loves Pets has helped support the rescue, transport, adoption and well-being of over 230,000 animals across the country.
Environment
Loving the environment means more than loving the great outdoors. It means working to preserve it.
Since 2018, Subaru has partnered with TerraCycle. Participating Subaru retailers collect hard-to-recycle trash that was headed to local landfills. We collect approximately 2 tons of this hard-to-recycle trash monthly, which will be converted to furnishings and other usable items and donated locally.
Education
It’s our goal to make the pursuit of knowledge available to as many minds as possible.
Since 2015 Subaru, in partnership with the American Association for the Advancement Science, donated over 277,600 award-winning science books. In addition, through our partnerships with Staples and Adoptaclassroom.org we supported teachers and students with donations of S400,000 in gift cards and school supplies.
Community
In a perfect world, hunger would be history and hope would be commonplace. We believe a perfect world is possible.
In 2020, Subaru and its retailers made a donation to Feeding America to provide 50 million meals to help feed people in need during the COVID-19 crisis,* making meals available at 199 local food banks across the country.*$1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.
Health
We should all have a chance to lead a healthy life. We’re aiming to give as many people that chance as we can.
Since 2016, Subaru and its retailers have partnered with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to donate over 167,000 blankets and 21,500 arts & crafts kits and reached nearly 150,000 patients in more than 780 hospitals nationwide.

Walker's Renton Subaru Donates Pet Supplies – Cody N
On November 4th, Walker's Renton Subaru had the opportunity to donate shelter supply kits, toys and pet food to Seattle Humane.

We hope that this small donation of doggie bags, tennis balls, chew toys and more will make an impact in the lives of pets renting a room at Seattle Humane. Walker’s Renton Subaru looks forward to working with Seattle Humane again soon!
Walker's Renton Provides Comfort to Patients – Katie J
On July 29, Walker’s Renton Subaru made a big difference in the lives of blood cancer patients. Each year since 2016, they partner with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to delivery warm, top-of-the-line, blankets and arts and crafts kits to patients at Valley Medical Center. These gifts are very helpful to patients who are undergoing cancer treatment because they provide comfort during a very uncomfortable process. We were able to surprise two patients who were in treatment at the time we arrived and they were very thankful to Walker’s Renton Subaru for providing this for them. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society exists to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma and help improve the quality of life of patients like Mr. Eng pictured here. Thank you to Walker’s Renton Subaru for choosing to care for patients in the Renton community fighting blood cancers and for helping fund life-saving cancer research and support programs.

Thank you Walkers Renton Subaru! – Pam T
The Renton Schools Foundation is honored to be a partner with Walker’s Renton Subaru and Subaru’s “Share the Love Event”. Dale and the team raised over $80,000 to support students in the Renton School District. Some of this generous donation was used to support all Renton Elementary schools with a piece of digital literacy software called, MyOn. In six short months, elementary students at school and at home have accessed this massive digital library and have read 105,943 books or have read 1,251,224 minutes! Here is a direct quote from Kat B, a teacher at Renton Park Elementary. “Our 4th-grade team loves MyOn. Our students use it for their research when we cover the American Revolution. MyOn also provides access to popular books and graphic novels so more students can read them at once.” Thank you, Walker’s Renton Subaru and “Share the Love” for your commitment to the Renton Schools Foundation. Because of YOU, the Renton Schools Foundation is able to provide enhanced learning opportunities for thousands of students in our schools.
