Making a difference in the lives of children and families throughout Long Island - Ben M - Benjamin M
Support from South Shore Subaru and Grand Prix Subaru empowers Cohen Children's Medical Center to make a difference in the lives of children and families throughout Long Island. Throughout the years, this important partnership has helped to realize new breakthroughs in pediatric cancer research, address food insecurity, and expand access to high-quality mental health services to meet the needs of children, adolescents, and parents. During the past year, Subaru of America's generous donation helped support Northwell Health's School Mental Health Partnership, an initiative designed to increase access to mental health services for children and adolescents across Long Island. Katie Prudenti, a high school assistant principal, was already familiar with the School Mental Health Partnership, having connected many students to it for support. When her own son, Austin, began to exhibit significant anxiety and anger by age 11, severely disrupting his everyday life and school performance, she sought help and reached out to the program. As a result of the care the family received, Austin reports feeling "way better, less angry, and more confident." Katie shared that the program alleviated the stress on her family during their crisis, and made a tremendous difference when it was most needed. She now uses her personal experience to help other families navigate the process of getting the support they need. We are grateful to South Shore Subaru and Grand Prix Subaru for making stories like this possible, and helping to ensure that children and families throughout Long Island have access to the highest quality of life-changing care.
Arbor Day- 2026 - Nico L
At South Shore Subaru, caring for our community means investing in a healthier future for generations to come. Trees play a vital role in that mission by improving air quality, providing shade, reducing stormwater runoff, supporting wildlife, and creating greener, more resilient neighborhoods. Yet each year, communities continue to lose trees due to age, disease, invasive pests, and severe weather. As part of the 2026 Subaru Loves the Earth® initiative, South Shore Subaru was proud to once again partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to help restore our local environment. This spring, we provided and distributed 100 mature, regionally appropriate trees throughout our community, helping to create lasting environmental benefits for years to come. Across the country, Subaru and its retailers distributed another 100,000 trees in 2026, continuing a commitment to environmental stewardship that has now resulted in well over 1.2 million trees being distributed and planted nationwide. We are honored to be part of an initiative that makes a meaningful impact both locally and nationally. Together with Subaru, the Arbor Day Foundation, and our community, we are helping grow a greener, healthier Long Island—one tree at a time.

Supporting Our Community with Essential Resources - Rosemary O
The Long Island Coalition for the Homeless is deeply grateful for the continued support of South Shore Subaru through the Subaru Love Promise initiative. Their partnership has helped us provide critical resources to individuals and families experiencing homelessness and housing insecurity across Long Island. Recent donations of new winter coats, food, and essential everyday items were made to the LICH Community Boutique and Pantry at the Amityville Veterans Community Resource Center in Amityville. Each month, hundreds of families rely on these services for necessities including warm clothing, pantry items, toiletries, household supplies, and other basic needs that help support stability and dignity during difficult times. As homelessness and food insecurity continue to rise across Long Island, community partnerships like this play an important role in helping families and individuals navigate crisis situations with compassion and support. South Shore Subaru's generosity directly impacts the lives of our neighbors by helping ensure access to warmth, nourishment, and essential care. We truly value our longstanding relationship with South Shore Subaru and appreciate their continued commitment to strengthening our Long Island community.
Supporting Our Community with Essential Resources - Rosemary O
The Long Island Coalition for the Homeless is grateful for our partnership with South Shore Subaru and their commitment to the Subaru Love Promise. Through their recent drive, we received essential items such as clothing, hygiene products, and household goods, which are distributed to the hundreds of Long Island neighbors we serve through our Community Boutique and Pantry. These items play an important role in supporting individuals and families experiencing homelessness, those recently rehoused, and those at risk of losing housing. This support helps ensure that people have access to basic necessities in a way that promotes dignity and stability. We are proud to work alongside South Shore Subaru in strengthening our community and expanding access to critical resources.
Arbor Day- 2025 - Nico L
At South Shore Subaru, we care deeply about our community and are committed to keeping our neighborhoods vibrant and healthy now and for generations to come. Trees are vital to this effort — they provide oxygen, cool our community, filter water, clean the air, prevent flooding, and improve health. But every year, our community loses trees due to age, disease, infestation, and extreme weather. Subaru and retailers like us are proud to partner with the Arbor Day Foundation to help address this problem. This spring of 2025 as part of our Subaru Loves the Earth initiative, South Shore Subaru provided and distributed 100 of mature, regionally appropriate trees that will benefit communities for generations. This year alone, Subaru and its retailers provided and distributed 100,000 trees to communities across the country. Through this new partnership and other initiatives, Subaru and retailers like us have helped distribute and plant over 1.1 million trees so far — and this is just the beginning. Together, we are growing a greener, healthier Long Island for generations to come
3rd Annual Haircuts for ALL Impact - Mariano R
As we continue to grow the Haircuts for All initiative, it has become clear that what started as a single moment of compassion has evolved into something much bigger than we ever imagined. What was once a spontaneous act of kindness between two people has now become a consistent mission rooted in community, empathy, and action. Each year, we are reminded that real change does not always come from grand gestures, but from showing up—again and again—for those who need it most. Through our continued partnership with Nico Levinas and South Shore Subaru, we have been able to expand our reach beyond the barbershop chair. Families no longer walk in feeling embarrassed or hesitant to ask for help; instead, they are met with open arms, respect, and understanding. We’ve seen firsthand how something as simple as a haircut can restore confidence, dignity, and hope—not only for a child, but for an entire family navigating difficult circumstances. What truly stands out about Nico and South Shore Subaru is that their involvement goes far beyond financial support. Nico continues to be hands-on, present, and genuinely invested in every person we help. This initiative reflects the same values South Shore Subaru upholds in all of their charitable efforts—giving back without expectation and leading with heart. Their commitment inspires us to think bigger, to do more, and to never lose sight of why we started. As Aura Barber Shop, we are proud to continue using our space as a place of service, not just business. The smiles we see, the confidence we help build, and the trust placed in us by our community are reminders that this work matters. With the continued support of South Shore Subaru and those who believe in this mission, we are excited for what lies ahead. This is more than haircuts—it’s about community, compassion, and creating opportunities for children to feel seen, valued, and ready to take on the world. We look forward to continuing this journey together and making an even greater impact in the years to come. Respectfully, Mariano Rodriguez
Saving Peter - Nadene. M
We received an urgent call to help a stray dog in horrific condition laying on a driveway unable to walk. When our volunteer arrived, she found a dog baking in the sun, unable to even lift his head. He was starved nearly to death. With the support of our beloved Subaru partner South Shore Subaru, and Nico Levinas, we will be able to get this poor dog the emergent life-saving care he needed. It was a long journey fighting for Peter‘s health. We were able to stop at nothing to get him the veterinary care he needed to survive. We are a small, all volunteer, non-for-profit organization that does not receive any government funding. Our partnership with South Shore Subaru has become a lifeline for many dogs in dire situations. Due to the ever rising veterinary costs, we would never be able to help dogs like Peter without the help of South Shore Subaru. Peter has made a full recovery thanks to the support and strength we received from our Subaru partner, that we consider family, and our wonderful friends and followers that were rooting for Peter’s success. He has reached a healthy weight, runs and plays like a puppy, and showers everyone he meets with kisses. His body mind and spirit has been healed. During the Subaru Loves Pets campaign, Peter found his forever family. We believe wholeheartedly that our partnership with South Shore Subaru and Nico made a stray dog’s dream a reality.
