Creating Moments of Comfort and Connection - Thank you, Franciscan Health Lafayette Cancer Center! - Mary G
Support often shows up in simple but meaningful ways—and this year's Subaru Loves to Care delivery at Franciscan Health Lafayette Cancer Center created a moment of warmth and encouragement for patients navigating treatment. Through the partnership between Zeigler Subaru of Lafayette, Blood Cancer United, and Franciscan Health Lafayette Cancer Center, blankets and care items were delivered to remind patients that they are surrounded by a community that cares deeply about their journey. A heartfelt thank you to Javan Greeson for representing Franciscan Health Lafayette Cancer Center and helping welcome this special delivery. Their partnership helped ensure these thoughtful gifts reached patients and created moments of comfort during treatment. We are especially grateful to Jordan Rock and the incredible crew from Zeigler Subaru of Lafayette for bringing enthusiasm, compassion, and commitment to this year's delivery. Their willingness to show up and invest in the local community reflects the heart of the Subaru Loves to Care initiative and demonstrates the impact partnerships can have beyond hospital walls. From Blood Cancer United, thank you to Sydney Encinias for representing our mission and helping support the coordination and success of this meaningful experience. Through collaboration and shared purpose, this delivery became more than blankets—it became an opportunity to provide encouragement and connection to patients and families. Together, these organizations helped transform a simple act of giving into something much greater: a reminder that care extends far beyond treatment and that no one facing blood cancer does so alone. We are grateful to everyone involved for helping bring comfort, kindness, and support to Franciscan Health Lafayette Cancer Center.
Growing Conservation Through Community - Ann F
For nearly a decade, Subaru and our local dealership partner, Zeigler Subaru of Lafayette, have demonstrated what it truly means to "Share the Love." As a Subaru Hometown Charity partner, NICHES Land Trust is deeply grateful for their ongoing commitment to protecting the natural places that make our community special. At NICHES Land Trust, we work to protect, restore, and sustain more than 5,000 acres of natural areas across western Indiana for current and future generations. Caring for these landscapes takes more than funding alone. It takes people who are willing to roll up their sleeves and invest in the health of our environment. That's exactly what the Zeigler Subaru team continues to do year after year. From removing invasive species and planting native trees to maintaining hiking trails and improving habitat for wildlife, Zeigler Subaru employees have become dedicated conservation partners and enthusiastic volunteers. Their support helps ensure that local families can continue to enjoy free access to nature while protecting critical ecosystems for generations to come. Subaru's Love Promise is visible in every volunteer day, every trail maintained, and every tree planted. Together, we are building a stronger community connected by a shared commitment to caring for the Earth. From all of us at NICHES Land Trust, thank you Subaru and Zeigler Subaru for continuing to Share the Love with our community and our natural spaces.
A Partnership with Heart: HS4GL and Zeigler Subaru Unite for Animal Adoptions - Josh K
Two impactful organizations came together to create a new and thriving partnership! The Humane Society for Greater Lafayette (HS4GL) and Zeigler Subaru joined forces in a collaboration that has already made a remarkable difference—helping nearly 20 animals find their forever homes. Hosted at Zeigler Subaru’s dealership, the adoption event drew an incredible turnout and delivered phenomenal results: 18 total adoptions, including 15 cats and 3 dogs, each finding the loving families they deserve. Beyond the event itself, the partnership’s reach extended even further—one lucky dog found his home after being featured on Indy Now during the event’s promotional campaign! This partnership exemplifies the power of community collaboration. Zeigler Subaru’s commitment to supporting animal welfare perfectly aligns with HS4GL’s mission to provide compassion and care to animals in need. Together, they’ve shown how teamwork, generosity, and shared purpose can truly transform lives. Looking ahead, both organizations are excited to build upon this success. The enthusiasm from staff, volunteers, and the community has set the stage for even greater impact in the future. HS4GL and Zeigler Subaru hope to continue growing this relationship, exploring new ways to make a difference, and perhaps expanding their efforts into larger, recurring events that bring even more animals home. What began as a single event has blossomed into a partnership built on shared values, community spirit, and a mutual love for animals. The Humane Society for Greater Lafayette and Zeigler Subaru look forward to many more opportunities to work side-by-side—proving that when organizations come together with heart, amazing things happen.
From Eviction to Empowerment: Andrea’s Story of Resilience and Hope - Luke G
Andrea was a resident who stayed at the Greater Lafayette Family Shelter on two occasions with her son, who is currently 10. In the span of a couple of weeks, she had lost her brother to an overdose, her oldest daughter moved out and was legally adopted by her godmother, and she was served an eviction notice by her landlord, who was attempting to raise her rent illegally. After a legal dispute between her and her landlord, she was given 30 days to move. Following her eviction, Andrea and her son moved into the shelter and stayed for about half a year. She later moved out and went back and forth between couch surfing and staying in her car for several months. During this time, she had major surgery for Endometriosis and lost weeks off work to recover. She was recovering from surgery while couch surfing at a friend’s house that was requiring her to babysit their 5 children as a condition for being able to stay. After couch surfing and sleeping in her car for many months, she moved in with her boyfriend, who was paying the rent. However, he was dishonest about being able to pay the rent, and he was served an eviction notice. With nowhere else to stay, Andrea chose to return to the shelter in order to stay united with her son. Her second time in the shelter was very different from the first. A complete leadership overhaul had taken place, and more support was in place to help residents. Andrea enjoyed speaking with Steven, the executive director, and Jessica, the case manager, about her struggles; it was a source of motivation to be able to speak with people about her situation. While at the shelter both times, Andrea and her son received shoes the both times they stayed at shelter and jackets the first time they were at shelter. It was able to take off a major financial burden, and it helped the family save up money to find more permanent housing. Clothing was a major expense for Andrea, especially with a son who was growing out of many of his older shoes. For her son, his new shoes gave him a lot of confidence at school. He still wears the shoes he received from Subaru almost every day because of how much he likes them.

Community Partnership in Action - Cait P
Food Finders Food Bank is grateful for our partnership with Zeigler Subaru of Lafayette. Since 2020, Zeigler has helped Food Finders provide over 565,000 meals throughout our 16-county service area. They have served as a presenting sponsor for Food Finders' annual fundraiser, the Blue Jean Ball, and have provided over 1,000 volunteer hours at the Fresh Market food pantry. Additionally, they have invited Food Finders' staff to participate in several community events, including trunk-or-treat celebrations.

This collaboration exemplifies Zeigler's 'Love Promise' values, which focus on showing love and respect to all people and being a positive force in the communities where they live and work through actions that set an example for others to follow.

Subaru Loves the Earth Tree Distribution - Jarad M
Zeigler Subaru hosted an incredible tree distribution event back in April where they generously donated 100 trees to the community as part of their commitment to making a positive impact on the environment. I was fortunate to receive a tree for my home, and the entire experience was outstanding. The event was thoughtfully organized, with each tree clearly labeled and ready for pickup, creating a smooth and welcoming process. Every staff member I interacted with was kind, helpful, and truly passionate about the cause. It was a beautiful example of community and sustainability coming together.

Feeding the Dogs - Jackie B
During the Month of October, Ziegler Subaru of Lafayette held a pet food drive and collected over two truck loads of food for the shelter dogs, and additionally brought the Subaru Loves Pets Adoption Kits. Feeding the dogs here at the shelter and keeping them on a regular diet helps tremendously and reduces GI upset by not changing their food constantly. This is also a phenomenal financial burden lifted from our budget. We are so very grateful to the men and women of Ziegler Subaru and the commitment by Subaru to our furry friends.
