More than a blanket! - Samantha S
During a time filled with treatments, uncertainty, and long days in the hospital, a simple blanket can provide a great deal of comfort, and that's exactly what Subaru and Blood Cancer United's donation did. For kids like Zofia, the blanket is more than just a nice gift, it's a reminder that people in our community are cheering her on through every step of her cancer journey. We are incredibly grateful to Subaru and Blood Cancer United for their support of all the kids receiving care at UH Rainbow Babies & Children's.
100 Women Strong OHIO and Seeds of Literacy Plant Education Roots with Grant from Ken Ganley Subaru - Kerry K
At Seeds of Literacy, our mission is to provide free, personalized education to empower adults to thrive in our community. Our Adult Basic Education program meets learners where they are—whether they are working toward a high school equivalency (GED), building basic reading skills, or improving foundational knowledge to advance their career. Seeds offers a unique, flexible structure and individualized curriculum that allows students to work at their own pace and level, one-to-one with a volunteer tutor. We have two Cleveland classrooms offering in-person tutoring and a Virtual Classroom, serving students from across the state. Many students are balancing jobs, parenting, and financial responsibilities while pursuing their education. Approximately 99 percent reside in low-income households and more than half are caring for dependent children. While our core focus remains on literacy and GED preparation, we are equally committed to helping students set and achieve long-term academic and career goals. For most students, Seeds is the only path to employment, postsecondary education, career training, and a better future. The generous grant received from the 100 Women Strong OHIO and Ken Ganley Subaru through the Subaru Share the Love campaign will support volunteer recruitment and training. Volunteers are the heart of Seeds of Literacy. Our work simply would not be possible without them. Since launching the Virtual Classroom in 2020, annual enrollment has remained above 1,500 students—approximately 40% higher than pre-pandemic levels. To meet this increased demand, we have worked hard to grow our volunteer tutor pool from around 280 to nearly 400 trained tutors. Continued investment in volunteer engagement is essential to maintaining one-to-one tutoring access for our students. There are no prerequisites to become a volunteer tutor, only a willingness to help others learn. Volunteers receive five hours of initial training and may shadow experienced tutor/student pairs until they feel comfortable working independently. Many volunteers prefer to focus on a specific subject area, such as math or reading, and we honor these preferences whenever possible.
100 Women Strong OHIO and Ken Ganley Subaru Help Heart of Ohio Diaper Bank Provide Hygiene Items - Shannon H
We want to say thank you so much to 100 Women Strong OHIO and Ken Ganley Subaru for supporting Heart of Ohio Diaper Bank through the Subaru Share the Love campaign. We are incredibly grateful for your partnership and belief in our mission! Heart of Ohio Diaper Bank and our HER Project (Helping Educated and Reduce Period Poverty) initiative work to ensure that families across our region have access to basic hygiene essentials including diapers, period products, and incontinence supplies. Because these items are not covered by assistance programs such as SNAP or WIC, many families struggle to afford them while also paying for food, housing, utilities, and auto expenses. Our mission is to alleviate diaper need, period poverty, and incontinence insecurity by collecting, sourcing, and distributing diapers, menstrual supplies, and hygiene products free of charge through a trusted network of 35 Community Distribution Site Partners across nine Ohio counties. In addition to supporting our distribution partners, we also provide emergency and supplemental support through our Little Bottoms Blessing program, helping organizations such as Akron Children's Hospital Food Farmacy and Kent City Health Department meet urgent hygiene needs within the communities they serve. This month, Heart of Ohio Diaper Bank distributed 98,542 essential items. Funding from the Subaru Share the Love campaign will help us continue purchasing and distributing thousands of diapers and hygiene products to families in need. These supplies help keep babies healthy by preventing painful rashes and infections, allow parents to maintain employment by meeting childcare diaper requirements, and help teenage girls, women, and adults maintain comfort, dignity, and independence.

Love in Service Work! - Erin G
My name is Erin Gillest and I work with a 501c3 non-profit organization called The Purpose of Change (The Robert Dick Foundation), which began as a way to honor a dear friend who overdosed and passed away to the disease of addiction. Prior to his passing, Robert helped a lot of people in the community, including myself, providing therapy, support, and being a positive example to others in their recovery journeys. Our mission with our organization is to be a catalyst for positive change by offering a lifeline to those facing homelessness, mental health struggles, and addiction. We are committed to providing compassionate outreach, access to critical resources, and a path to renewed hope and self-sufficiency. This February 28, we have a Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser coming to help benefit the non-profit. Subaru of North Olmsted has reached out to help the fundraiser with donating a set of Air Pods to the basket raffle! All of the proceeds of this fundraiser go directly to the breakfast, coffee and critical resources we provide to the homeless and those struggling in the community, as well as those in recovery trying to become self-sufficient again. Sherry of the North Olmsted Subaru has also helped so many people in recovery purchase a vehicle over the years. In addiction, people lose so much and as they finally get sober, they are starting from the bottom all over again. I was one of these people where my addiction and my actions caused me to lose everything. Over the years, I found sobriety and was able to get my life back. My family and loved ones began to trust me, and I felt like I had a purpose in life again. I met Sherry to get our first family car that we saved up for and it was such a rewarding experience. Sherry has given hope and gratitude to so many people in recovery becoming independent and self-sufficient again as they continue to grow along spiritual lines. I am 10 years sober today and by the grace of a Higher Power will be celebrating 11 soon. Sherry and Subaru helped me feel empowered again throughout my recovery journey. Thank you Subaru!!!
A Partnership That Steps Up for Families - Heather R
Neighborhood Alliance was proud to partner with our local Subaru dealership through the Subaru Operation Warm campaign to support children and families in our community during a time of growing need. Through this partnership, the dealership generously donated numerous boxes of brand-new shoes for children, an act of kindness that will have a lasting impact on families experiencing homelessness. As the capacity of our homeless shelter continues to increase, we are seeing more children enter shelter alongside their families. These moments are often marked by uncertainty and disruption, and even basic necessities can become out of reach. The shoes provided through Subaru's Operation Warm campaign will be distributed directly to children staying at our shelter, ensuring each child receives a new pair of shoes of their own. For the children we serve, something as simple as a new pair of shoes represents far more than footwear, it restores a sense of dignity, comfort, and normalcy during an incredibly difficult time. We are deeply grateful to Ken Ganley Subaru of North Olmsted for recognizing this need and for giving us the opportunity to support children in a meaningful and tangible way. Partnerships like this demonstrate how community collaboration can make a real difference. Together, Neighborhood Alliance and Subaru are helping children take their next steps forward with confidence, care, and compassion.
A True Partnership - Jen H
We have only been partnering with Ken Ganley of N. Olmsted for a couple of years and I'll never forget one of the first things the Director of Digital Operations, Brian Hakes, said. "It's not about what you can do for us, it's about what Subaru can do for you." And that has stuck with me. To have the backing of such a giant car company who fully embraces and supports the mission of our shelter was such a standout to me. We just think we're so lucky to have had this group in our corner. We held one adoption event where the team had come out to meet with the clients and hand out Subaru toys. One of their team walked around taking pictures of the dogs and posting them on social media to try and help get them adopted. That was pretty cool! It's just so nice to be partnered with kindred spirits who care about our dogs as much as we do.

Lorain County Children Services believes every child deserves moments of joy, belonging, and wonder, especially those who have experienced hardship.

In 2024, Lorain County Children Services received 5,334 reports of alleged abuse and neglect, with 1,752 requiring further assessment. The annual Princess Ball hosted by the Friends of Children Services helps raise funds to ensure that Lorain County Children Services is able to continue providing support, services, and resources to families who need it.
