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 Jackson, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Teton Motors 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 Teton Motors Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need.

Summit Innovations School - Pier T
Summit Innovations School is a direct recipient of the Subaru Love Promise and the recognition that love is meant to be shared. We are grateful for the support Teton Motors offers Summit, its staff, and its students. The funds so generously provided allowed our teachers to purchase supplies, provide necessities for our students, and help with school and classroom decor that represents the community vision here at Summit, one that promotes respect, accountability, and acceptance of one another, allowing for student voices to be heard. We appreciate that our goals align with those of Subaru’s--that “all feel they are treated fairly and with understanding and compassion.” We believe in promoting learning, while valuing, and empowering our students, their perspectives, and their voices. Subaru’s effort to make their communities stronger is evident through the donation from Teton Motors. With the funds given, we created hallway signage for students, parents, and visitors to see what we stand for--our PEAK values to be present, engaged, accountable, and kind. We also purchased high-interest book sets, binders for all students, art supplies for projects, artwork to beautify our school community area, nutritious snacks for field trips, and a parachute for various team-building activities. Additionally, we were able to purchase seeds, plants, and the necessary tools and materials for our school garden, one of our students’ favorite things about Summit. Our hope is to provide a safe learning environment where all students feel understood and respected, thus empowering them to build the academic, social, and emotional skills necessary to successfully navigate the present and future. Mirroring the commitment of Subaru, we strive to positively impact those around us, and appreciate the help of Teton Motors in directly helping us here at Summit. Thank you, from the entire Summit Innovations community!

Teton Motors Subaru, helping connect homeless animals with loving homes! - Carrie B
The Animal Adoption Center has had the pleasure of working directly with the dedicated Teton Motors staff for many years. We collaborate annually, to host our community’s largest animal adoption drive. With the help of Teton Motors, each year our regional animal rescues and shelters work together to connect more than two dozen adoptable animals with loving potential adopters. This year, the event was exceptionally success. Animals from the Teton County Animal Shelter, Lucky's Place Animal Humane Association of Star Valley, PAWS, and the Animal Adoption Center all meet their new families. Aska's Animals also participated by providing animal training support to pet owners. Thanks to the collaborative promotion we had a huge turn out! One special puppy, named Stephen, found his family at the event. Stephen and his litter mates were born on the Wind River Reservation located in central Wyoming. They began their rescue journey when Aska's Animals welcomed them into their program. The puppies spent six weeks at Aska's Animals and were then transferred into the Animal Adoption Center's program. Stephen's family had been following his growth and development through social media. When they saw that he was going to be at the Teton Motors Adoption Event they were overjoyed with excitement. The entire family came to the event to meet him. It was love at first sight! They began fostering him at the event and finalized the adoption two days later. Stephen is thriving in his new home, as are the other eight animals that were adopted thanks our collaborative adoption drive. We are grateful to have special partners like Teton Motors!

Helping Teton County seniors receive meals - Rebecca E
Teton Motors Subaru has supported the Senior Center of Jackson Hole through the Share Love Event and more. This is year marks the 45th birthday of our Senior Center. At the start or it all, the first mission was to feed seniors who were homebound. Through the years our programming has grown but Meals on Wheels remains a core service. Teton Motors Subaru knows the importance of not only the meal but the social connections that make individuals & a community thrive. Their continued support means we will be able to keep meals accessible and seniors engaged & part of our community.
Making Safety Simple - Shannon B
Community Safety Network in Jackson Hole has been providing crisis and long-term support for survivors of domestic violence, assault and stalking for nearly 40 years. We recently had an opportunity to purchase a vehicle for our organization thanks to a grant from the Wyoming Division of Victim Services, and as we considered our needs - transporting individual clients and clients with children, moving furniture back to and from our crisis shelter and transitional housing apartments, traveling to regional conferences - that the 7 seat Subaru Ascent offered the perfect combination of safety, space and comfort for us. Using federal grant funds for any purchase includes a few extra steps, and a longer timeframe, than an individual's car purchase. Paperwork and purchase orders, competitive estimates and working with fund reimbursement protocols are all part of the process. Jim Auge and his exceptional team at Teton Motors Subaru worked with us over the course of several months - including holding the exact vehicle we wanted for us once the funds were approved - to ensure we had the information we needed and accommodated our timing that required waiting for the funding to come through. We are so thrilled to have a safe, comfortable vehicle that allows us to offer clients additional support in their journey to safety, especially on local roads that are snow and ice covered for more than half the year. We were so excited, in fact, that we had an impromptu company field trip where our entire staff "tested" our new Ascent with a little local fun ride. Thank you so much Teton Motors Subaru for supporting our work to keep our community safe!
Teton Motors x The Animal Adoption Center - Grace P
We are so grateful to Teton Motors Subaru for hosting us, the Animal Adoption Center, for the annual Subaru Loves Pets Drive. During the month of October, The AAC and Teton Motors Subaru helped 34 pets find loving homes, and our adoption event at Teton Motors was the perfect way to finish the month out! Our event was held on October 26th, 2023, and we were joined by the Teton County Animal Shelter, Lucky’s Place Shelter, and PAWS of Jackson Hole. We were helped by staff members Rick Babicz, Aimee Jensen, and Bill Saks. Together, we met potential adopters, had trick-or-treating for kids, and got to highlight some of the amazing animals up for adoption in our valley! We held our adoption event at Teton Motors Subaru, and were joined by a handful of volunteer fosters with their foster dogs, a few of our dedicated staff members, and some wonderful members of the community. We marketed the event in our local paper, as well as on social media and with our partners. The event was a wonderful way for our dogs and cats to gain traction in our local community, and two of our dogs were adopted from the event! One of our most special adoptions from the month of October was a dog named Fancy. Fancy joined a Dog is My Copilot flight from Uvalde, Texas to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and we were lucky enough to take her into our program. Fancy was quiet and shy when we first met her, but slowly came out of her shell, thanks to our dedicated team of foster parents. Fancy was especially nervous around men, so she needed a family who could be patient with her, and help her gain confidence. She waited 5 months for her perfect home, and finally found her people. She was adopted by a couple who were immediately drawn to her, and who understood that with time, Fancy would become an irreplaceable part of their family (which in a few short weeks she has!) We are thrilled to have worked with Teton Motors and Subaru on our adoption drive, and are immensely grateful for the partnerships that allow us to continue our life-saving work.
