Waltham Fields Community Farm - Amanda S
Thank you again for Cityside Subaru's $1,500 sponsorship donation to Waltham Fields Community Farm on May 26, 2026. Since 1995, WFCF has promoted local agriculture and food access through farming operations and education programs, using practices that are socially and ecologically sustainable. Your sponsorship is vital to fulfilling our mission and nourishing our community in Waltham and the greater Boston area. As we are midway through our year, I wanted to give you an update on all that your support helps us achieve: - In just the first few weeks of our harvest season, we have distributed over 3,500 pounds of produce to our community members who need it most. - Over 750 of our seedlings have been donated to schools and local community organizations to use in their programming. - Summer on the Farm, our summer educational program for elementary school-aged youth, is underway with youth tending their own garden beds and learning to make farm fresh recipes. Our spring fundraiser, Sprout, was incredibly successful this year. Thanks to you, we raised over $35,000 at the event, plus an additional $23,000, in yearlong sponsorships! Your generosity and support has a real impact in our community! From everyone at Waltham Fields Community Farms, WE THANK YOU!

Cityside Subaru Paints the Town with The Network/La Red - Cristina D
Cityside Subaru has been a consistent support and sponsor of The Network/La Red's annual fundraiser, Paint the Town (La) Red. Their extraordinary generosity for the last 20 years has helped make this event possible and allowed us to raise the unrestricted funds that sustain our work with LGBTQ+ survivors of partner abuse. Because of their continued support, our life-saving services remain free, confidential, and accessible to those who need them most. We are deeply grateful for Cityside Subaru's partnership and commitment. Thank you from all of us at The Network/La Red!
Lone Tree Hill Volunteer Day - Radha I
Thank you for your generous gift to help support the Belmont Citizens Forum's 12th Annual Lone Tree Hill Volunteer Day that was held on April 25, 2026, in conjunction with the Judy Record Conservation Fund. This year, our volunteers accomplished a lot. We had three different work sites, one at the Meadow Edge Trail and the Pine Allee for planting saplings, and a second at the Coal Road on Pleasant Street for trash, and the third at Judy's Trail for invasives removal. At the Meadow Edge Trail, volunteers planted 60 white pine saplings and five eastern red cedar saplings. At the Pine Allee, volunteers planted 14 white pine saplings to replace either dead or downed trees. Along Pleasant Street, volunteers collected 14 bags of trash that included a chair, wood, a tire jack, and an iron chain. Along Judy's Trail, volunteers filled two bags with garlic mustard and removed a buckthorn root and a large honeysuckle tree that was encroaching on the Highland Cemetery entry gate. We greatly appreciate your support of our mission to educate and inform community residents about important local issues and to help improve our town. Again, thank you for your donation to the Belmont Citizens Forum and a big thank you to the enthusiastic CitySide Subaru employee volunteers. Thank you for helping us steward the land and keeping it clean. Also thank you for the shirts and gloves for the volunteers.
Somerville Spring Into Action - Michael L
During the quiet moments following an event like Spring into Action, it's natural to reflect on what makes this work possible. For us at the Somerville Homeless Coalition, the answer is the generosity of this community bolstered by a shared belief that home is a basic right, not a privilege. I am writing to offer our sincere gratitude for your presence, partnership and your thoughtfulness. Your generous support is a welcome gift and is a direct investment in our vulnerable neighbors' stability and dignity. Braced by your contribution, we continue to enhance and adapt our programming to meet the pressing needs of our underprivileged community. With your support, we can sustain our work and continue navigating the ever-evolving landscape of homelessness, food scarcity, and housing insecurity to best serve our neighbors in crisis. Thanks to you, we are better equipped to provide shelter, secure housing and offer the resources families and individuals need to thrive. Thank you and CitySide Subaru for believing in our mission. We are honored to have you as a partner in this work over the last five years.
CitySide Loves Learning - Adrienne N
Our teachers are so grateful and thankful for the donations. They are able to buy items for their classrooms that don't fit into our budget. The kids love the flexible seating options, the scoop chairs, and the increase in technology that we are able to offer. We have built up our robot program for kids to learn how to code. Overall the teachers just feel so love and supported and we are really proud to be partners with CitySide Subaru.
CitySide and MSPCA-Angell Boston - Neal L
It gives me great pleasure to acknowledge receipt of your contribution of $6,000.00 received on July 24, 2025 to the MSPCA-Angell's Boston Animal Care and Adoption Center. Thank you so much for this generous gift. For over 150 years, we've fought to protect, rescue, heal, and find loving homes for animals in need throughout the state of Massachusetts and the world because we believe there will come a day when every animal knows their worth and feels truly loved. Your gift brings us closer to that day. It keeps our doors open, our lights on, and so much more. With your support, we're reminded that we're not in this fight alone and that together, we really are making extraordinary progress! On behalf of the animals and humans who will benefit from your generosity, thank you for your love and support. Thank you, as always, for your wonderful partnership!!
Foundation For Belmont education 2025 - Maria O
On behalf of the Board of the Foundation for Belmont Education, we want to express our immense gratitude for your generous support of the FBE again this year. We have received your donation of $9,000 and are incredibly proud to have you return as an Investor in Education and Platinum Run Sponsor. Your support of the FBE and our efforts to support innovative education programs and curriculum development in the Belmont Public Schools is truly amazing - Cityside Subaru really does make a difference in the Belmont Public Schools. We are excited for another year of events that bring together the community, staff and teachers of the Belmont Public schools, and local businesses - working together to fulfill the FBE mission, and have fun along the way. As you know, our first big event of the year is the FBE Apple Run, for which we are truly grateful for your continued support as our Platinum sponsor - for the 13th year now! We love this fun event, and are thrilled to have Cityside Subaru continue to be a big part of it, bringing the pace care, and now a costume judge! Both are such a great addition to the event. We are also looking forward to hosting a Spring event again this year, akin to last year's Casino Night, and we will of course, be hosting our annual Spelling Bee (celebrating its 30th year!), and delivering daffodils as we Spread a Little Sunshine later this academic year.
THANK YOU FROM LLS, CITYSIDE SUBARU! - Tasha M
For the past 10 years, Subaru of America and its retailers have partnered with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative. The partnership has involved delivering blankets, patient care kits, and messages of hope to cancer patients across the country. On June 24th, Cityside Subaru personally delivered these items to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. These blankets, patient care kits, and messages of hope provide warmth and comfort to patients in treatment. The love and support shared through this cherished partnership means a lot to everyone involved! This year, Cityside Subaru also opted to support the LLS Urgent Need Program, which will provide blood cancer patients financial relief to help offset non-medical costs associated with treatment, such as transportation, food, housing, utilities, etc. Thank you for your commitment to supporting your community as well as the LLS mission to create a world without blood cancer and improve the quality of life for patients and their families!
Cityside Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Nate R
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 Belmont, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Cityside 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 Cityside Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/23/2025, Cityside Subaru donated 300 coats to Watertown Housing Authority. 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.
