Stanley Subaru Helps Fill School Pantries for Hungry Students


We just completed one of our most successful food drives yet!

About 1 in 4 students in Maine is food insecure. Undernourishment deeply affects students' lives including reducing their ability to learn, which further impacts their future. Food insecurity is a terrible problem, and Stanley Subaru is making efforts to solve it. We partnered with WABI TV5 and the Maine Education Association in 2015 to End Student Hunger.

Good news pouring out of Stanley Subaru!

 

We are happy to say the state of Maine confirms that we have some of the best possible water you can drink! Not only was everything good and at acceptable levels, we had some of the best possible readings in almost every category! Which means not only is our water great, but whenever you have tea, coffee, or cocoa, you're getting some great quality brew!

We also have loads of great news from our service department! Chris Williams passed his final ASE in December and is officially Subaru Master Certified!
