Southern Oregon Subaru Drives Change Locally - Kellie B
For the past 17 years, Southern Oregon Subaru has been more than just a partner, they have been a driving force behind the ACCESS mission. In addition to annual donations and sponsorship of our key events, then know a thing or two about getting creative with their support! During the month of March (2025), our friends at Southern Oregon Subaru held a “Race to 200” promotion with a goal of not just selling cars but also driving out hunger in Jackson County. For every 5 cans of food a customer brought in, Southern Oregon Subaru proudly donated $25 to our regional Food Bank. The result was nothing short of inspiring: Southern Oregon Subaru and its customers donated 775 pounds of food and $1,424 for a grand total of 4,921 meals! “We’re super excited about how this all turned out,” said General Sales Manager Nick Knutson. “Look at all this food raised for ACCESS to get to those who need it most!” That’s not all though. Southern Oregon Subaru has featured us as one of three nonprofits they support in their local “Journey” commercial; they have a loaner vehicle that is wrapped in ACCESS branding; and through rogue Credit Union’s quarterly dealer promo, we are able to provide and additional 4,500 meals to our community. Thank you, Southern Oregon Subaru, for your many years of unwavering support! We are grateful for passionate (and fun!) partners like you who truly drive change in our community.
Partners in Compassion: Saving Thousands Together Since 2009 - Karen E
At SoHumane, we believe that every animal deserves a second chance—and thanks to our enduring partnership with Southern Oregon Subaru, thousands have received just that. Since 2009, our collaboration has grown through the Subaru Love Promise, making a meaningful difference in the lives of animals and people in our community. In 2024 alone, SoHumane took in more than 200 stray animals, many of whom arrived in urgent need of medical treatment. Providing this level of care would be nearly impossible without the support of community-focused partners like Southern Oregon Subaru. Their commitment helps ensure that vulnerable animals receive the healing, safety, and compassion they deserve. One of the most impactful parts of this partnership is the annual Share the Love adoption event. Over the years, this event has placed 357 animals into loving homes and raised a remarkable $343,407 to support our life-saving work—including $39,100 in 2024 alone. Beyond the adoption floor, Southern Oregon Subaru helps us share our mission—promoting adoption, spay/neuter, and humane treatment—through their marketing and media outreach. Their dedication also extended to SoHumane’s signature fundraiser, A Toast for Tails, where they returned as Presenting Sponsor in 2024. The event raised more than $278,000 to support programs like the Saving Train, which rescues pets from overcrowded shelters facing euthanasia. Because of Southern Oregon Subaru and our compassionate community, more than 11,900 dogs and cats have been given a new beginning—and we look forward to saving even more lives together.
