2021 Subaru Corporate Impact Report
We doubled our efforts in 2021, donating a total of 150 million meals across 199 food banks nationwide as part of a landmark donation to Feeding America. These meals helped communities in areas with the highest rates of food insecurity and were even more impactful because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our partnership with Feeding America has allowed us to make a significant contribution in the following areas:
Now in its 14th year, the Subaru Share the Love® Garden is located on the grounds of our corporate headquarters in Camden, New Jersey. We work with the local nonprofit Center for Environmental Transformation to select and acquire plants, while a group of Subaru colleagues maintain the garden. It yields an average of 600 pounds of produce every year, and the produce is donated to our neighbors in need at the Cathedral Kitchen soup kitchen. Over the garden’s 14-year lifespan, we have donated about 7,600 pounds of produce.
The opportunity to use new vehicles with such strong construction and materials is unique and allows us more realistic training that builds our skills to the level our community expects from its fire department. The fact that these were new Subarus challenged us with high strength materials and construction as we trained our response teams on rapidly accessing patients in these vehicles to save lives.”

“The vehicles that Subaru was able to provide us allowed us to provide hours of training not only to our newest members, but to our experienced personnel. The hybrid vehicles were of high value because they allowed us to refine our extrication tactics when dealing with hybrid vehicles.”
