Butte Subaru Teams Up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butte Silver Bow to Support Local Community - Joshua S
Imagine going without a coat, shoes, or even socks. For millions of children and adults experiencing homelessness and other urgent need situations across the country, even here in Butte, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Butte Subaru is partnering with Operation Warm®, a national nonprofit focused on connecting children with the resources they need to thrive. Through this partnership and other Subaru Loves to Help® efforts, Subaru and retailers like Butte Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/14/2025, Butte Subaru donated 300 coats to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butte Silver Bow. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
Taking Community Action - Brooklyn S
Action Inc is a local organization in Butte Montana focused on providing the tools needed for impoverished individuals and families to economically succeed. Action Inc provides local housing assistance, heat assistance, youth empowerment through mentorships and training, head start school program for littles, and food/nutrition assistance. This year, Butte Subaru partnered with Action Inc to supply coats to local children in need. Butte winters average a low of five degrees; no child should be without a coat, but the cost of living leads many families struggling to afford coats for their children. This is why a coat donation is an amazing way to positively impact the local community and why Action Inc and Butte Subaru made this their first event of the year.
Subaru Loves Learning - Brooklyn S
In support of Emerson Elementary School, Butte Subaru generously donated funds through their Subaru Loves Learning Event this year. Donations like this make a significant difference in supporting local education and teachers. Unfortunately, many teachers end up using personal funds to ensure their classes have enough learning and cleaning supplies. Having enough learning supplies aids children from lower economic situations by preventing their peers from singling them out thereby lowering incidences of bullying and depression. Other supplies such as Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, and tissues is also important to create a safe learning environment and help prevent school absences due to sickness. Subaru Loves Learning is a wonderful program and Emerson Elementary is grateful to have been chosen by Butte Subaru.
Subaru Loves Pets - Brooklyn S
Our furry friends at Pintler Pets Animal Rescue in Anaconda MT were all wagging tails when Butte Subaru came for a visit. Butte Subaru chose Pintler Pets for their Subaru Loves Pets event and brought a generous supply of new toys. Toys help residents have lower anxiety and depression but need frequent replacement for safety and health concerns which can make it hard to have a sufficient supply of toys. Pintler Pets relies solely on fundraising and private donations so it is an honor to be chosen for Subaru Loves Pets.
Subaru Share the Love Event - Brooklyn S
Butte Subaru welcomed us as part of the Subaru Share the Love event last year and we received $5,033.34 in August. We have been chosen again this year to be part of the Subaru event and are also working with Operation Warm to provide our matches and children in need with warm winter coats in January. Big Brothers Big Sisters is the ONLY prevention program in Montana proven to affect a broad spectrum of risk factors (i.e., delinquency; alcohol; tobacco and drug use; teen pregnancy; and school dropout) while simultaneously helping children reach their highest potential by igniting and empowering our youth through caring, professionally monitored matches. The return investment is higher across the board than dollars invested in single issue prevention programs. Most of the children served by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butte-Silver Bow are at high risk of developing emotional, behavioral, social, and delinquent problems. Because of Butte Subaru's continued support we are able to expand our organizational reach and offer our life changing programs to more of our community youth. Year to date we have served 104 Littles in our matches. We have also served over 300 children in our "Talk about Touch" Program this calendar year. Butte Subaru has had an enormous impact on our organization and I truly hope this partnership will continue in the coming years. Thank you, Laci Laci Peck Ridder Executive Director Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butte-Silver Bow
Subaru Loves to Help - Brooklyn S
This year, for Subaru Loves to Help, Butte Subaru partnered with Operation Warm. As censusreporter.org reports, 17.3% of the Butte Montana population is below the poverty line and 21% of that number consists of children under the age of eighteen. This percent is about 1.4 times the rate in the United States which is 12.5%. These numbers represent families forced to choose between paying for food or shelter over coats and winter gear for their children. These children desperately need to feel security and care and as the Operation Warm explains, “a brand-new coat isn’t just about staying warm; it’s about feeling safe, confident, and cared for.” This is why the organization's tag line is “More than a coat” and why we are proud the partnership between Butte Subaru & Operation Warm aided in the provision of over 400 new coats for local Butte School District #1 elementary students. Shared on Operation Warm’s website is eight-year-old Maddie’s testimony, “I am very happy that I got a new coat because now I know that even people that barely know me want to help me.” It is the voice of renewed hope and expression of the love and care felt in a moment that will forever impact her life. The pure joy and excitement emanating from children like Maddie fuels the passion behind the mission of Operation Warm and inspires partnerships like Butte Subaru's to continue this invaluable mission.
Subaru Loves to Care - Brooklyn S
Our friends at Butte Subaru stopped by the St James’ Cancer Center to deliver blankets, socks, and care kits for cancer patients as part of the Subaru Loves to Care Event. A blanket or socks may seem simple but to a cancer patient it is everything. Patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy experience cold sensations and chills, anxiety and mental stress. Blankets and socks provide both physical and emotional support. A blanket alone can actually improve a cancer patient’s overall quality of life during treatment. We know our patients in the St. James Cancer Center will appreciate these cozy blankets, socks, and care packages. Thank you so much to Butte Subaru for thinking of us as part of the Subaru Loves to Care Month!
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butte-Silver Bow - Laci R
Butte Subaru began their partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Butte-Silver Bow in 2020. They have been one of our largest contributors since. Their commitment to supporting BBBS have assisted in funding our programs and have impacted the lives of so many Bigs and Littles. We thank them for their LOVE and support. Especially for sponsoring our Rhythm and Brews event and hosting the car show.
Subaru Loves Learning - Pat K
Butte Subaru selected West Elementary School for the 2023 Subaru Loves Learning initiative. Their donation to West Elementary School has helped our school to provide more classroom supplies for our teachers and their students.
Hannah and Stella - Montana Pittie Project - Renee W
This year, we were thrilled to have Butte Subaru reach out to the Montana Pittie Project to partner during the Subaru Loves Pets event. One of our amazing adoption stories involves Hannah and her loyal sidekick, Stella. Stella was brought to Montana through the efforts of the Montana Pittie Project. Hannah is also a part of the Butte Subaru family. She and Stella roll around in Hannah's Subaru Outback Wilderness. Butte proud and Butte Strong!
