Gratitude from KidsConnect – Elise G

The KidsConnect Program of Jewish Family Service bows deeply to our friends at Johnstons Subaru. When Steve Jardine and his team learned of the financial needs that our program faced, they took action. With their conviction towards helping the community, they didn’t hesitate. KidsConnect serves children with all sorts of disabilities and their families. Programs are designed to offer recreational, educational, and social opportunities. With serious funding cuts, the entire program was in jeopardy. Money raised both in the 2015 and 2016 Charities of the Month Campaigns helped to fund our KidsConnect Camp and our Families Connect Program. Camp offers an amazing opportunity during the summer time when most other programs (including summer schools) are finished. Families Connect gives siblings, parents and guardians a chance to engage in fun activities while sharing with other families. Aside from great times, the family members experienced connection and support. Yes! Johnstons Subaru keeps their “Love Promise.” The promise has had an impact on the JFS Orange mission which is to, “empower all people facing challenging times to live with dignity, hope and strength.” Deep gratitude to our friends at Johnstons Subaru!

Johnstons Subaru Makes Humane Society of Middletown, NY Charity Of The Month – Katrina D

We would like to thank Johnstons Subaru, and especially Steve Jardine, for making us the Charity of the Month. Your generosity will truly help us to help the sweet shelter animals that we have in our rescue. It is very difficult in today's economical environment to raise money to help all the stray animals and to save the ones who would be euthanized if shelters could not take them. Therefore, we cannot thank you enough for choosing us to give such a generous donation. You are one of a kind, and we cannot stress enough how much we appreciate what you did for us and for the other charities that you donating to. We wish there were more businesses who gave back. THANK YOU THANK YOU. Thank you to too Katrina for helping to pull this wonderful event together. Bless you Johnstons Subaru. -Humane Society of Middletown, NY August 2014 Charity of the Month

Johnstons Subaru is pleased to have our Charity of the Month Program. This is our way of paying it forward to local organizations that are in need. Every month, Johnstons Subaru chooses a local organization in need and donates $25 for each vehicle purchased during that designated month. The Food Bank of the Hudson Valley was chosen as the July 2014 Charity of the Month. The Food Bank of the Hudson Valley is a non-profit located in the Hudson Valley and serves more than 400 feeding programs in six counties - Orange, Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland, Ulster and Sullivan. The feeding programs consist of food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, day care centers, senior centers and more! Each $1 donated allows the Food Bank to provide 4 meals worth of food to the hungry in our communities.
