Thank you for Jim Keras Subaru's donation for MIFA's Our City, Our Story.

Peer Power Big River Crossing Race - Cortney R.
Thank you for helping thousands of Memphis students through your $7,500 sponsorship of the Peer Power Big River Crossing Race. It's a good race with a good run for a great reason. Our organization is extremely grateful for the support you have given us over the years. Because of you, Peer Power is providing the tools that students need to succeed in life. Students supported by Peer Power tutors and mentors have higher attendance and graduation rates, along with rising college acceptance rates. Yet we know that our work isn't complete. Together, we can continue to support our students in the ways that they need it most. Thank you for helping to make sure that children have a chance at learning and at life. Thank you for your incredible commitment.

Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital - Lindsey S.
Subaru Memphis has partnered with Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital for years by donating blankets to our kids. Staying in a hospital can be scary and cold, so these kids being gifted with snuggly blankets can bring a piece of comfort when they need it most. We are so grateful for the continued support Subaru gives to our children in some of their hardest moments.

Church Health is grateful for the partnership with Subaru and Jim Keras Subaru. The Subaru Share the Love® donation of $62,000 will help thousands of people who work in low-income jobs that have nowhere else to turn for healthcare.
Jim Keras + Dorothy Day House - Megan B.
We are grateful for the generous donation the Dorothy Day House received this year as part of the Subaru Love Promise. Partnerships with community businesses like Jim Keras Subaru make our work possible. The Dorothy Day House (DDH) provides transitional housing and support services for families experiencing homelessness in Shelby County. Our programs operate out of three residential houses in the mid-town area of Memphis. Families typically reside in our homes for 3-6 months while focusing on goal setting to re-establish independence. This home-like atmosphere provides a sense of security, especially for children, fosters self-esteem, and uplifts the human spirit. The families we serve are diverse in make-up, age, religion, and ethnicity. On average DDH provides these services to 25 families in Shelby County annually. We welcome the whole family at DDH and encourage the strengthening of family bonds during a challenging time. For over 15 years, DDH was the only agency in Shelby County providing housing for married couples and teenage males. In a typical shelter, families are often separated. Men are sent to one shelter while women and young children are sent to another. Teenage boys are placed in foster care or find someone willing to provide a home and care during that time. Often, rather than experience the trauma of separation, families choose to live in a vehicle or stay in uninhabitable places. During their stay families have access to the following services at no cost: food, clothing, transportation, budgeting advice, case management services, advocacy and mentoring, furnishings/small appliances upon move out, parenting skills, employment counseling, resume assistance, prospective job contacts, access to sources of permanent housing, documentation assistance (applying for birth certificates, driver’s license, food stamps, etc.) and personal relationships which provide a system of healthy support. We feel a family should focus all of their resources on what they need to re-establish independence. Our markers of “success” include a family moving into their own long-term housing, employment at a living wage, and having reliable transportation. A key piece to being able to offer this holistic approach is community partnerships. Early this Spring Jim Keras Subaru donated a large quantity of black dress socks to DDH. These socks were distributed between current families and kept in our open community closet. These black dress socks were made available to residents who are working jobs to save for their next steps, often requiring uniforms. Further, just because a family leaves the DDH, that does not mean the relationship ends there. We keep the door open to previous residents and make resources available. We have notified former DDH residents they may visit our community closet any time they need uniform socks for their job. We always say if you need something for your home, we need it times 9 to support families currently living in our transitional housing. Often DDH residents are starting over with limited possessions, and it can be easy to forget the necessities, such as socks for your work. We thank Jim Keras Subaru and the Subaru Love Promise® for supporting families experiencing homelessness in Memphis, TN.

Forrest Spence Fund - B S.
Thank you for your sponsorship of the 15th Annual Forrest Spence 5K. We really appreciate Jim Keras Subaru's generosity over the years. We would not be able to assist families with a sick child without your support. Thank you for believing in our mission! - FSF Team
Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis - Keith B.
As a teenager, Keishuna not only needs to prepare for graduation she needs to prepare for life beyond high school, and she's not the only one. Even as employers struggle to fill open positions with skilled workers, the unemployment rate for teens and young adults in Memphis is three times higher than the national average. Your investment in the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Memphis puts Keishuna and the 2,100 other teens we serve each year on the path to a great future. We provide opportunities to develop crucial soft skills, gain certifications, explore careers, and learn on the job skills. Your generosity coupled with the programming at BGCM is setting them up for success. I would like to extend my gratitude for your gift of $3,000.00 in support of the 2022 Steak N' Burger Event. Thank you for helping to close the opportunity gap for youth, equipping the next generation with the resources and experiences they need to thrive in school, career, and life. Best regards, Keith Blanchard
Jim Keras Subaru Mentorship - Ellen H.
Dear Mentor: Thank you very much for your willingness to take on one of our 8th grade students as an intern. We realize it takes some thoughtful planning on your part, and we appreciate your willingness to invest such considerable time and energy. In developing this project, it is our hope that Grace-St. Luke's students will have the opportunity to experience a few days in a profession of interest to them. As much as possible, we expect our students to undertake meaningful tasks within your organization and learn about the adult world of work We expect them to be prompt, dress appropriately, and contribute thoughtfully while they are in your place of business. Your feedback on our program and our students will be most helpful to us in shaping this program. Again, thank you for your generous gift of time.
Did Jim Keras Subaru Hacks Cross go above and beyond, provide exceptional service, or support causes that are important to you? We'd love to hear about it.
