Stanley Subaru Share the Love


What is Subaru Share The Love?

The Subaru Share the Love Event takes place every year from mid-November to early January. During this time, Subaru of America and the team at Stanley Subaru donate a portion of proceeds from every new car sale to one of four national charities, or a local hometown charity here in the Ellsworth area. This years local community partner is The Grand Theater.

Stanley Subaru & The Community

In addition to our Share the Love mission, we are proud to support the Eastern Area Agency on Aging not only during the Share the Love Event, but at various times through the year.

The Eastern Area Agency on Aging partners with Meals on Wheels to  serves our community by providing hot meals to seniors to ensure that they get the food and nutrition they need.  

Many of our area seniors are feeding their pets part of their meals as a result of not having the ability to purchase pet food.  This year we are supplementing our efforts by hosting a pet food drive November 16-18th.  Please come by the dealership any time during regular business hours to drop off your pet food donations to help assist our efforts.

Visit subaru.com/share to learn more about the program and each of the participating charities.

Each customer who has purchased or leased a new Subaru (Model Year 2023-2024) can either designate one charity to receive the $250 donation or split it among any number of the participating charities. Only one donation (of $250) is made per vehicle sale or lease.

While we encourage customers to make their charity selection at the retail store at the time of purchase, selections will be accepted online at subaru.com/share or by phone at 1-800-SUBARU3 through January 13, 2024.


For those who do not submit their charity selection by January 13, 2023, Subaru will allocate the $250 donation on the customer's behalf to participating charities.

You will receive a thank-you letter from Subaru on behalf of all of the charitable beneficiaries of the campaign.

Subaru will make the donation to each charity by May 31, 2023.

By the end of this year, Subaru and its participating retailers will have donated over $250 million to help those in need.

Subaru of America offered the retailer community the option to select up to two charities in their communities to join the four national charities in the Subaru Share the Love Event. While some retailers are participating in this option, other retailers have decided to work with one local charity.
