Subaru Loves to Help: Operation Warm Event at Trinity Place - Archie B.
Goldstein Subaru has proudly partnered with the Trinity Alliance of the Capital Region located at 15 Trinity Place Albany NY, a local support organization to help children & families in our community. Trinity Alliance is a major hub for coordinating and leveraging resources for residents in the most economically challenged neighborhoods. Some of the amazing services Trinity Alliance provides are: Active Parenting Workshop, Community Recovery, Empowerment Services, Early Childhood, Family Support, Foster Care Prevention Program, a Food Pantry for those in need that can choose from an assortment of food goods, and a community Baby shower for underserved parents who may not have the means to get all the necessities they need for their newborn’s arrival. They provide so much more and the list goes on. I was honored an invitation to go on tour with Goldstein Subaru’s owner Stefanie Goldstein to find out all of the amazing resources this place has to offer. Trinity Alliance has touched my heart in many ways. Goldstein Subaru through Subaru Loves to Help: Operation Warm has donated an astounding 288 new winter coats to Trinity Alliance in all variety of sizes for both boys and girls to relieve the expense for parents who may not have the means to buy one. While we were touring the facility the CEO of Trinity Alliance stated that all the materials for all of the programs they offer were taking up a ton of space, leaving no room or space for the employees to work out of. Stating their next project would be to look for storage space. Without hesitation Goldstein Subaru stepped up to the plate and offered to rent a storage space for Trinity Alliance, and that the expenses would be fully covered by Goldstein Subaru to relieve that burden so that way Trinity Alliance can continue their focus on more important things like the community. Seeing the empathy that the Goldstein Subaru Team has shown these people was very heartwarming and special to see. Thank you, Goldstein Subaru Team for always going above and beyond and never taking a step back from our community.
Schatzi-A Tale of Patience - Alison S.
When Schatzi came to the Mohawk Hudson Humane Society, it seemed as if the world was against him. Brought in by a Good Samaritan, Schatzi came in with another cat petrified and with a fresh wound on his neck. Schatzi did what he knew to do: he hid. To be extra cautious due to his neck wound, Schatzi was placed in a program that required extra monitoring and more restrictions to ensure he was healthy. He was placed in a room with another cat in the same program. These two cats bonded quickly. At first, they were both incredibly wary of all of the humans coming in and out. After about a month of regular interactions, Schatzi began to open up and actually began seeking out attention and affection from those coming into his room. Soon, he became the mayor of the cat floor. Everyone had to stop by and say hello! He even showed his roommate that humans weren't so scary. After a few months of being overlooked, the perfect family came in and scooped up this sweet boy. Goldstein Subaru has made this story possible. Without the support of Goldstein Subaru, MHHS would not have the time or ability to help these animals. With the support of Goldstein Subaru through myriad programs and most importantly Share the Love, MHHS knows that it has a reliable partner in the community multiplying its voice and message. MHHS is forever grateful for the partnership it has with Goldstein Subaru.
Schatzi Finds His Forever Home - Marguerite P.
Schatzi was a handsome 5-year-old tiger cat who came to us in March of 2023 with a large, ruptured abscess on his neck and two puncture wounds. Our vet team cleaned the wound and treated it with antibiotics and watched is closely until it was healed. Because Schatzi had lived with other cats and was an indoor/outdoor cat, we couldn’t be certain of what type of animal had bitten him. Therefore we had to follow some special rules, which included quarantine from other animals. He was made available for a foster-to-adopt trial, where the adopter would foster him until his quarantine period ended. When his foster-to-adopt family met him, Schatzi immediately warmed up to them. They took him home and made their adoption official in October at a Goldstein Subaru Adoption Event. Schatzi also has a new canine brother and are all very happy together.
Chili's Tale of Hope - Marguerite P.
Chili was a 7-year-old pup who came to us in March of 2023. She was suffering from a long-standing pyometra, a serious infection in the uterus. She was very ill. Untreated, this condition is life-threatening. Our vet team immediately spayed her and removed her uterus. Initially, her bloodwork was very abnormal due to the sepsis caused by the infection. Because she wasn’t feeling good when she arrived, she was nervous and a bit “spicy,” which is why we named her Chili. As she started feeling better, she began to trust our staff. With time and patience, she came to have many friends at the shelter. Our Behavior and Enrichment Team learned that Chili loved playing with puzzle toys and any food-related toy that would work her brain. They also worked with her on sharing her toys and food without becoming reactive. This is common with shelter dogs and our adoption counselors made sure to explain this behavior to potential adopters. In October, after 7 months in our care, Chili found her forever home at one of our Goldstein Subaru Adoption Events. She went home with someone who understood her background and her behavioral needs. Her new family reports that she is doing wonderfully!

Subaru Loves to Care with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society - Brooke H.
In a heartwarming partnership, Goldstein Subaru and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society® (LLS) have combined forces to make a tangible difference in the lives of those undergoing cancer treatment. Goldstein Subaru has proven to be a beacon of generosity and care, demonstrating a genuine commitment to our shared mission of creating a world free from blood cancer. Together, with the support of NYOH, Goldstein Subaru has generously contributed 80 comforting blankets to the patients who are undergoing treatments, often spending long hours in the infusion center. These blankets serve as a symbol of warmth and solidarity, enveloping patients with a sense of comfort during their journey towards recovery. Recognizing the significance of easing the journey for patients, Goldstein Subaru has generously offered 50 patient care kits. These kits encompass essential items that enhance the comfort and well-being of patients during their hospital stays. These thoughtfully curated care kits provide not only practical support but also convey a message of care and understanding. Moreover, the outpouring of love and encouragement from Subaru customers has been truly heartening. Their heartfelt messages of hope and inspiration, collected by Goldstein Subaru, have been a source of comfort and strength for the patients at NYOH. These messages remind patients that they are supported by a caring community, and that they are not alone in their battle.

Your dedication serves as a powerful example of what can be achieved when a community rallies together to make a difference. The impact of your support reaches far beyond the material contributions; it is a testament to the strength of human connection and the capacity for kindness. On behalf of the patients, their families, and the entire LLS community, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to Goldstein Subaru. Your partnership demonstrates that together, we can illuminate the path towards healing, hope, and a future free from blood cancer.
Pet Safety & Care - Samatha P.
I have been a customer of Goldstein for many years and will continue. They don't only take care of their customers they care about the well being of pets. Most recently I visited to drop off food for their pet pantry and noticed they have a great pet display in one of their cars. I learned that Subaru offers safety harnesses and ramps for pets. I have followed the Goldstein Subaru journey donating and volunteering at the Mohawk Humane Society, without all that Goldstein Subaru does I'm not sure all the pets would be able to be nursed back to health and find their forever home. Goldstein Subaru also has a year long bottle redemption program where the proceeds also go to the shelter. What a great thing to do for the community. I'd like to add that through the pandemic many pets were surrendered to the shelter, Goldstein made sure they continued their support through it all. Please take time to visit Goldstein for your car needs and remember to bring pet supplies when you do for the Pet Pantry! Love Goldstein Subaru!
Subaru Loves All Pets - Alison S.
Sweet Asha came to the shelter in a very bad way. She was 10-weeks-old and had already survived a vicious beating from a child and we weren't sure she would make it. Asha was determined to prove us all wrong. She never once considered giving up. She was all puppy energy and positivity from the moment she realized she was safe. After some time healing and growing in a foster home, Asha was adopted within a day of becoming available. This sweet girl lives up to her name every day. Asha means "alive and well." She was determined to prove her name right and her abuser wrong. Asha now gets to spend every day getting spoiled with her new parents and canine sibling. Subaru Loves Pets helps support the care and adoption of dogs like Asha, and for that, Mohawk Hudson Humane Society is so grateful.
Did Goldstein Subaru go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
