THANK YOU FROM LLS, ANCHOR SUBARU! - Tasha M
For the past 10 years, Subaru of America and its retailers have partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. The partnership has involved delivering blankets and messages of hope to cancer patients across the country. On June 16th, Anchor Subaru personally delivered these items to Brown University Health Cancer Center. These blankets and messages of hope provide warmth and comfort to patients in treatment. The love and support shared through this cherished partnership means a lot to everyone involved! Thank you for your commitment to supporting your community as well as the LLS mission to create a world without blood cancer and improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
Anchor Subaru: A True Partner in Change - Susan J
When it comes to making a real impact, Anchor Subaru has truly gone above and beyond. Their generous sponsorship of The State of The Hotel event was not just a financial contribution — it was a partnership in our mission to transform animal welfare nationwide. From the moment we reached out, Anchor Subaru was not only quick to support us, but they also shared our passion for improving the lives of homeless dogs. Their dedication to causes that matter, like animal rescue and shelter reform, made all the difference in bringing this event to life. They didn’t just sponsor an event; they became part of the change we’re fighting for. Thanks to their support, we were able to bring together passionate individuals and start a conversation about fixing a broken system. Anchor Subaru’s commitment to the cause is a testament to how businesses can use their influence to make a lasting difference. We are so grateful for their unwavering support — they’ve truly shown what it means to be a community partner. All of us at The Hotel for Homeless Dog's are truly grateful.
Spud's Savior - Stephanie V
This is a story about Spud! Spud came to the Rhode Island SPCA on March 27, 2024. He was two years old. Sadly, Spud celebrated his 3rd birthday with us too. Spud was a staff favorite but he still had puppy energy and did not present well to potential adopters in his kennel. But, we were determined to find him a home. Because of these puppy tendencies we knew Spud would be a candidate for post adoption training! However, the trainings can be expensive and many adopters cannot afford them. This is how Anchor Subaru saved Spud! They offered to sponsor Spud's post adoption training for up to 12 sessions. On April 24, 2025, 392 days in the shelter or 3 days shy of his 13 month anniversary, Spud was adopted into a loving home with a gentleman who Spud connected with almost immediately! Spud and his new owner are currently taking part in the trainings and it is going great! We truly appreciate Anchor Subaru for all the financial support they have given to our shelter animals that need a little extra help along the way.
Northern Rhode Island Food Pantry - Richard T
Thank You Anchor Subaru On behalf of the directors and volunteers at the Northern RI Food Pantry, we extend our deepest appreciation to Anchor Subaru of North Smithfield for their incredible generosity and support during this year’s Subaru "Share the Love" event. We are truly honored to be part of this meaningful initiative for the third consecutive year.

With this donation, Anchor Subaru will proudly sponsor our first Saturday of the month distribution for the next 12 months, ensuring local families have reliable access to essential groceries. To the Anchor Subaru family, your generosity and commitment to making a meaningful difference in our community is truly inspiring. We are profoundly grateful for your ongoing partnership and support!
N.S. Clean & Green Day 2025 - Scott H
Another great year working with Gladimir and Brian from Achor Subaru. This year we were in dire need of new signage for our town clean up registration area. Our signs were dated and Anchor agreed to graciously donate the funding needed to make this happen. We were able to acquire 4 new retractable signs which gave our whole registration area a clean, professional look. People are started to take notice that Anchor Subaru is doing good things for our community.
Amazing Donation! Thank You - Julia W
I would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Brian Benoit and the Anchor Subaru team for their generous donation of the "Hole in One Car" for the MCS Annual Golf Tournament. As a small parochial school, we depend on fundraising events like our golf tournament to support our enrichment programs. Anchor Subaru’s contribution plays a crucial role in enabling us to continue offering educational programs that foster and inspire our future leaders. The success of our science labs, arts, and athletics is made possible by the support of community-minded organizations like Anchor Subaru. Brian Benoit’s steadfast commitment to Rhode Island exemplifies the vital role that family-owned dealerships play in our community. The stories of Anchor Subaru’s ongoing support highlight the significance of such family-owned businesses and their essential presence in our local community.
The Elmhurst Boys Charity Golf Tournament - John P
The Elmhurst Boys 2021 Diocese of Providence Lumen Gentium Award winner, Community Service & Charitable Outreach For almost 30 years The Elmhurst Boys, have been helping individuals in need along with charitable organizations. In 2015, we became a 501(C)3 non-profit organization. Founded by a group of friends who wanted to give back to the community, our mission statement is as follows: “The Elmhurst Boys is a faith-based group of individuals who share similar interests and concerns for the community and those in need. Our goal is to encourage giving back through volunteer work, fundraising and charitable contributions” We hold two Pancake Breakfasts each year supporting the diocesan ‘Keep the Heat On’ program and support the St Pius V church local chapter of the St Vincent de Paul society. Our biggest fundraiser each year is our annual golf tournament. In our first nine years we are proud to announce we have donated over $170,000 to individuals and/or organizations. Proceeds from the 2017 golf tournament, in collaboration with First Tee – Raritan Valley (Kenilworth, NJ), have provided funding for golf being taught in PE class within the local inner city school system. This sponsorship continues today and introduces golf to those children who otherwise would not have the opportunity to play or have access to this sport. Since 2019, the Benoit family of Anchor Subaru has been a corporate sponsor of our golf tournament. Their sponsorship has been instrumental in making our tournament a success and has helped us maximize our donations to each year’s benefactor. To find out more about our organization, please visit www.theelmhurstboys.org If you would like to let us know of a worthy cause or just have questions on our mission, please email us at, providenceelmhurstboys@gmail.com
$1.5M Raised to Make Wishes Come True - Peg W
Over the past 13 years, Make-A-Wish has been both honored and grateful to partner with our Subaru of New England Retailers as one of the four national charity partners of the Share the Love campaign. We are thrilled to share that following this year’s results, the combined support of our local Massachusetts and Rhode Island retailers has just surpassed $1.5 Million for Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island! It is proven that wishes can have a positive impact on the medical outcomes of children facing critical illnesses. A wish experience can improve a child’s quality of life and emotional well-being, while also strengthening families. A wish enables a child to imagine a future that is bright and provides motivation and hope when they need it most. The transformative impact of a wish cannot be overstated, and we depend on the generosity of partners like you to move closer to our vision of granting the wish of every eligible child in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Your support benefits not only a local child and family, but their community as well, reminding every one of us that we are capable of uplifting one another. Thank you, Anchor Subaru, for your compassionate partnership in bringing hope and joy to local kids with critical illnesses.
Snip&Clip, Drop&Chop, Spay and Neuter it Helps A LOT - Thanks to Anchor Subaru! - Stephanie A
Scruffy Paws Animal Rescue was in desperate need to find a final sponsor for our low-cost spay/neuter program and right when we thought all hope was lost, Anchor Subaru to the rescue! Anchor Subaru's $2000 contribution has so far assisted with 72 felines receiving spay/neuter packages AND it's not over just yet! Times continue to be tough for so many. Affordable spay/neuter is difficult to come by and the few low-cost clinics that RI does have, they are booking out MONTHS, making it extremely difficult for owners to secure appointments in a timely manner. Thanks to Anchor Subaru, a few other generous sponsors, volunteer veterinarians, and our team, our shelter is able to host low cost spay/neuter clinics for RI residents who are experiencing financial hardship. These WONDERFUL sponsorships offset some of the financial burden for pet owner's who in the end are only responsible for a small portion of the package price. Due to Anchor Subaru's sponsorship, every feline covered under this program is given the opportunity to receive the following: An exam by a licensed veterinarian, spay/neuter, distemper vaccine, rabies vaccine, a dose of flea meds, pain medication, and a nail trim. Together we are ending the suffering of our community cats and preventing countless litters to be born into unfavorable conditions. We can't thank you enough Anchor Subaru for your support! Also a big shout out to Peanut Butter for her support! :) Below are just some of recipients who benefited from Anchor Subaru's generous sponsorship.
N.S.. Clean & Green Day 2024 - Scott H
On Saturday, April 27th, 2024 about 200 volunteers gathered at town hall in North Smithfield, RI to head out with assigned routes to remove litter from the streets throughout town. With Anchor Subaru's 3rd year of sponsorship, the committee decided that using this funding to pay for the volunteer t shirts would be the most helpful. This year the committee got the students involved in town, 8th grade art class, to be specific. All students in this class provided submissions for a t-shirt logo for our annual town clean up. The results were outstanding and hard to ultimately choose one winner. You can see the final design in some of the attached photos. The event was another great success, with volunteers filling a 30 yard dumpster with litter. The committee and the town would like to thank Anchor Subaru for another year of support of our event and look forward to continuing this great partnership.
