In the last few years, Dalton Subaru National City has partnered with Blood Cancer United and Scripps Cancer Center through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. The partnership has included delivering blankets, 10 patient care kits, and Messages of Hope to cancer patients. The items were delivered to the oncology staff at the hospital on June 23, 2026, by Dalton Subaru National City for distribution to patients in treatment. This year, Dalton Subaru National City has also opted to support the Blood Cancer United Urgent Need Program, Pediatric, which will provide five blood cancer patients with financial relief to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, utilities, and other essential expenses.

There's something special about coming together for a cause bigger than ourselves. We recently had the privilege of partnering with the amazing San Diego Subies community for a beach cleanup at Fiesta Island — a day filled with teamwork, purpose, and love for the place we call home. At Dalton Subaru, the Subaru Love Promise is more than words — it's a commitment to caring for our community and protecting the environment for future generations. From every piece of trash collected to every helping hand offered, this event was a reminder that small acts of kindness can create a lasting impact. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up, rolled up their sleeves, and helped make a difference. Together, we're creating cleaner beaches, stronger communities, and a brighter future.

A Promise Made Possible by Our Community - Monica F.

At Dalton Subaru National City, the Subaru Love Promise® is more than words—it's action. Through the 2024 Subaru Share the Love® Event, every vehicle purchased or leased helped support organizations making a meaningful impact right here in San Diego. This year, we were honored to present donations to Rady Children's Hospital Foundation – San Diego and GiGi's Playhouse San Diego, helping further their missions of care, support, and hope. These contributions are only possible because of our customers who chose to make a difference with every purchase. Together, we've turned everyday transactions into life-changing support for local families, children, and individuals in our community. Thank you for helping us share the love and fulfill our commitment to being More Than a Car Dealer. Because when we come together, we can create a lasting impact.

Dalton Subaru Hosts 3rd Annual Subaru Loves to Help Warm Coat Drive - Monica S.

At Dalton Subaru National City, giving back to our community is at the heart of everything we do. This season, we were proud to host our 3rd Annual Subaru Loves to Help Warm Coat Drive, continuing our commitment to making a meaningful difference for families in need. Through our ongoing partnership with Operation Warm, and in collaboration with @sbcs, we were honored to help provide over 200 brand-new winter coats to children facing urgent need throughout our local community. The Subaru Loves to Help initiative is a nationwide effort that reflects Subaru's dedication to spreading warmth, care, and hope—especially during the colder months. For many children, a new winter coat is more than just warmth; it's comfort, confidence, and a reminder that their community cares. We are incredibly grateful to Operation Warm, @sbcs, and everyone who helped make this year's coat drive such a success. Seeing the direct impact on local families is what makes this event so special year after year. As we look ahead, Dalton Subaru remains committed to supporting initiatives that strengthen our community and uplift those in need. Thank you to everyone who joined us in making this season warmer for so many children.

Every October, Dalton Subaru celebrates Subaru Loves Pets Month by supporting Chula Vista Animal Services and covering adoption fees. By removing one of the biggest barriers to adoption, Subaru helps countless pets meet their perfect match. One of those success stories was Dexter, a big-hearted pit bull who had been with the shelter since last December. Despite his sweet nature, his size and breed often made him easy to overlook. During the shelter’s promotion for the final Open House adoption event, Dexter was featured several times in his Halloween costume and quickly became a community favorite. With Dalton Subaru’s support, Dexter’s wait finally ended when he found his perfect match. Throughout October, 217 pets found their adoptive families, including 24 during the Open House event. Through initiatives like this, Dalton Subaru continues to show that love is at the heart of everything they do. Their partnership helps turn hopeful shelter stays into happy endings, one tail wag, one purr, and one forever family at a time. For that, we proudly call them true shelter heroes.

On behalf of every teacher, staff member, and student at Olivewood Elementary, I'm writing to express our deepest gratitude for your incredible generosity and unwavering commitment to education in our National City community. Your thoughtful donation has made such a meaningful impact on our school. Thanks to your support, six of our teachers—some brand new to the profession and others new to our Olivewood family—each received $500 in flexible funding for school supplies and classroom resources. You should have seen the joy and excitement on their faces when they learned they had been selected! It's hard to describe how much this kind of support means to educators, especially as they work to create engaging, resource-rich learning environments for their students. This generous contribution doesn't just help our teachers—it directly benefits every child in those classrooms. From new books and learning materials to hands-on supplies that make lessons come alive, your investment in education is already making waves throughout our school hallways. At Olivewood Elementary, we know that strong community partnerships like ours with Dalton Subaru are what make extraordinary things possible for our students. Your belief in the power of education and your willingness to support our teachers means the world to all of us. Thank you for being such wonderful community partners and for showing our teachers and students that their hard work and potential are valued and supported. We're honored to have Dalton Subaru as part of our extended school family.
