A Love Promise Story - Shannon J
A Subaru Love Promise Moment at Jenkins Subaru Today, we were truly blessed with a reminder of what the Subaru Love Promise is all about. I, Shannon Johnson – Love Promise Champion, along with our wonderful team — Jamie (Express Service Advisor), Corey (Subaru Advisor), Dina (Subaru Advisor), and many others — had the honor of spending time with Miss Mazel Williams. Miss Mazel is a cherished part of our Subaru family and is now driving her fourth Subaru Outback. At 83 years old (soon to be 84 this November), she inspires us all with her strength and perseverance. Miss Mazel faces health challenges including “dropped neck syndrome,” and she recently had hip replacement surgery. Driving isn’t always easy for her, but thanks to her Subaru Outback and her determination, she continues to stay independent. When Miss Mazel came in today, Corey brought a padded chair right to the service entrance so she wouldn’t have far to walk. Jamie carefully took care of her Outback in the Express Lane and then sat with her to explain everything and even processed her payment while she was comfortably seated. With teamwork, we helped her back to her vehicle — and in those moments, we were reminded what true care looks like. I had the privilege of talking with Miss Mazel, and her life story is incredible: She graduated from Salem College (now Salem University) in 1964. She taught junior high math in Preston County, WV, and dedicated 36 years to teaching (including 11 years in Indiana). With only two weeks of driving experience, she bought her very first car — a Chevy Nova — after saving from her teaching job. During college, she worked summers at The White House, where she met the Kennedys and many others. She was even offered a job there but turned it down to return to her roots and teach in Preston County. Over the years, she developed a love for stories and has collected books tied to the name “Mazal/Mazel,” which she connected to her own name. The book Mazel and Sly Mozel she found while in college. Miss Mazel is a true treasure — resilient, wise, and filled with stories that touch hearts. Everyone who had the honor to meet and help her today walked away feeling blessed. A heartfelt thank you to Jamie, Corey, and Dina for going above and beyond, and to Miss Mazel Williams for allowing us to be part of her journey. This is what Love Promise Moments are all about.

Jenkins Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Nate R
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Bridgeport, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Jenkins Subaru is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Jenkins Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/31/2025, Jenkins Subaru donated 204 coats to United Way of Harrison and Doddridge Counties. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.

Subaru Retailers Team Up to Support Hurricane Relief Efforts - Jess M
At Jenkins Subaru, we’re always ready to step up and support our communities, especially in times of crisis. This commitment is at the heart of the Subaru Love Promise®. When Hurricanes Helene and Milton devastated the Eastern region, Subaru retailers like us immediately sprang into action. Alongside other Subaru retailers, Subaru of America, and local organizations, we assessed the most urgent needs in the affected areas. It quickly became clear that local food banks were struggling to keep up with the surge in demand as they worked to support people hit hardest by the storms. In response, we teamed up with 67 Subaru retailers across the region to launch a $400,000 match campaign to aid the hurricane relief efforts of Feeding America®. Jenkins Subaru proudly contributed $10000 to this initiative. While the immediate impact of the storms fades from the headlines, many of our neighbors continue to face long-term challenges like food insecurity, water shortages, power outages, and limited access to essential services. Thanks to the collective generosity of Subaru retailers and the communities we serve, an additional $18,427 was raised. This brings the total impact to $418,427, or over 4,100,000 meals for those in need. "As one of the nation's largest disaster relief organizations, the Feeding America network of food banks and partner agencies is deeply rooted in communities across the country. Together, our partnership with trusted Subaru dealers has helped expedite emergency food assistance and supplies to people who need it most. We are immensely grateful," said Feeding America Chief Development Officer Casey Marsh.
Warm coats for warm hearts - Matt J
Jenkins Subaru Hyundai of Bridgeport brightened the day for many in Clarksburg on Wednesday with a heartfelt donation of over 140 coats to the Clarksburg Mission. This act of generosity is part of the dealership's ongoing "Subaru Loves to Help" campaign, aimed at supporting local communities in need. Angie Knight, speaking on behalf of the Clarksburg Mission, expressed gratitude for the donation, emphasizing its significant impact on their efforts to assist residents. "That helps out with a lot of our residents," Knight remarked. "We like to hand out things; when people get here, a lot of times, they do not have very much clothing on hand. So, it really means a lot; it helps us do what we do. We also have a clothing closet people when people stop by." The Clarksburg Mission serves as a vital resource, providing essential services and support to individuals and families facing hardship in the area. The donation of coats from Jenkins Subaru Hyundai will undoubtedly provide warmth and comfort to those in need, ensuring they can face the upcoming winter season with greater ease. Jenkins Subaru Hyundai's commitment to community support through initiatives like this underscores their dedication beyond automotive sales. By partnering with local organizations like the Clarksburg Mission, they exemplify how businesses can positively impact their communities. The "Subaru Loves to Help" campaign reflects Subaru's broader corporate philosophy of making a positive difference in the world. This donation is not just about providing coats but also about fostering a spirit of compassion and solidarity within Clarksburg. As winter approaches, the gesture from Jenkins Subaru Hyundai serves as a reminder of the warmth that kindness can bring, spreading goodwill and comfort to those who need it most.
