Keeping Children Warm This Season

In support of the Subaru Loves to Help Operation Warm initiative, Hello Subaru of Valencia rallied to support a local Salvation Army in need. Operation Warm focuses on providing children of all age’s new jackets, socks, and shoes for the winter season. The Salvation Army of Valencia caters to over 600 kids in the Santa Clarita Valley. Hello Subaru purchased 252 children’s coats and pairs of shoes to donate to The Salvation Army. The Hello Subaru team was joined by Subaru of America District Sales Manager, Kiki Sin, and her colleague to give an extra helping hand on this special delivery. Rafael Viana, Captain of the Santa Clarita Salvation, welcomed the team with a smile and was taken back by the three-car load donation. The team began to unload the boxes into the facility. After, the team received a personal tour and learned about the history of the Salvation Army. This facility provides services and food to over 300 families in the community. In addition to the food pantry, they have a small in person closet for those in need of free clothing. With the donations from Operation Warm, Rafael and his team plan to stop by the local Newhall Elementary School and pass out the jackets and shoes to students who need them. Hello Subaru of Valencia is proud to keep children warm this season.
