We, at Koeppel Subaru, pride ourselves on treating every current or future Subaru owner like family, extending this ethos beyond our showroom to actively engage and uplift our local community. This deep-rooted commitment to service and compassion is vibrantly expressed through our overarching initiative, Koeppel Kares. This program embodies our dedication to making a tangible, positive impact on the lives of our employees, our valued customers, and the wider community we are privileged to serve.

We believe that true success is measured not only by our business achievements but by the meaningful difference we make in people's lives. In this spirit, we are delighted to share how our specific initiatives, particularly the Operation Warm Coat Giveaway, our Sock Donations at a local Queens Shelter, and the heartwarming Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway, exemplify our mission to warm hearts in Queens and beyond. Through these efforts, we aim to set a high standard for dealership-led philanthropy, ensuring our contributions create lasting and positive change.

Operation Warm Coat Giveaway

Winter in New York can be unforgiving, and for children lacking adequate protection, the cold can be more than just uncomfortable; it can impede their health, well-being, and even their ability to participate confidently in daily life. Recognizing this profound need, our Koeppel Kares initiative proudly partners with Operation Warm, a remarkable non-profit organization devoted to providing brand-new winter coats to children who need them most. We understand the significant impact a warm, well-fitting coat can have, offering not only physical warmth but also a crucial boost to a child’s confidence and sense of dignity.

Our collaboration with Operation Warm specifically targets the local community of P.S.148Q, allowing us to identify and reach children who may not have access to appropriate winter clothing. Through our donation, we ensure that these children receive coats that are thoughtfully chosen to be both functional and weather-appropriate, as well as stylish and age-appropriate. This attention to detail means that the children can face the winter season with comfort and pride, free from the worry of the biting cold. This initiative goes far beyond simply handing out garments. It is about fostering a sense of care and ensuring that every child feels valued and supported. It aligns perfectly with our ongoing commitment to enhancing the lives of those we serve and making a meaningful impact within our local community.

We firmly believe that by addressing such fundamental needs, we contribute to a stronger, healthier, and more empowered generation, reflecting our deep-seated belief in community development and corporate social responsibility.

Sock Donations at local Queens Shelter - Koeppel Subaru

The simplest necessities often hold the greatest significance, particularly for individuals experiencing homelessness. Among the most requested yet frequently overlooked items in shelters are socks. It is a stark reality that for many, a clean, warm pair of socks can make an immeasurable difference in their daily comfort, health, and overall sense of dignity. This is why Koeppel Subaru, as an active contributor to community welfare, has made a compassionate commitment to regularly donate socks to local women's shelters, including The Kings Inn Family Center, which is run by CAMBA.

This initiative stems from a deep understanding of the critical role that a basic item like socks plays in promoting the well-being of those facing challenging circumstances. For individuals living in shelters, consistent access to clean socks helps prevent foot infections, provides warmth during cold nights, and offers a small but significant comfort that can positively impact their mental and physical health. Our team recognizes that these donations are not merely about providing an item but about extending a hand of care and showing genuine compassion to vulnerable members of our community.

By focusing on this often-underserved need, Koeppel Subaru reinforces its dedication to supporting those who rely on local shelters. It underscores our belief that every individual deserves warmth, comfort, and dignity, and that even the smallest acts of kindness can create substantial positive change within our beloved Queens community.

Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway

The holiday season is a time for gratitude, togetherness, and generosity, and few traditions embody this spirit more than a shared meal with loved ones. At Koeppel Auto Group, our annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway is a heartwarming tradition that deeply resonates with the values of community support and generosity we uphold. This event beautifully demonstrates our commitment to our employees while also extending a helping hand to families in need within Queens.

Each year, we joyfully extend holiday cheer to every single employee by gifting them a turkey, ensuring that each member of our team can enjoy a festive Thanksgiving meal. What truly makes this tradition special and distinguishes it as a powerful act of community giving is the option provided to our employees: they can choose to pay it forward by donating their turkeys to families who are facing challenges during the holiday season. This initiative creates a wonderful ripple effect of kindness, allowing our team members to not only enjoy their own celebrations but also to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. The turkeys generously donated by our employees are directed to families associated with the Lions Club and P.S.148Q, reaching those who might otherwise struggle to put a festive meal on their table.

This annual act of giving reflects the core values of the Koeppel family and our broader dedication to making a positive impact, one turkey at a time. It highlights how our commitment to our employees seamlessly translates into a deeper commitment to the community. Through this thoughtful program, we not only spread holiday joy within our own team but also extend warmth and support to countless families in our local area, embodying the true spirit of Thanksgiving and solidifying the reach of our Koeppel Kares efforts.
