Thank you Gengras Subaru of Torrington! - Christina A
We were fortunate to learn of Gengras Subaru's support of community non-profits from Parts Manager, Connor Pollard. Upon networking and disclosing our mission to increase autism awareness, acceptance and inclusion in our community; Connor promptly offered support from Subaru to assist with our programs and events. This allowed us to provide additional opportunities to our summer program and social group participants. We are very thankful for the support, and for Gengras' vested interest in aiding local non-profits like T.A.F.A. that are out to service individuals within our community. This type of collaboration is critical for the continuance and enhancement of non-profit work. Thank you Connor, and thank you Gengras for your dedication to Torrington Area Familes for Autism!
Gengras Subaru Loves THS Automotive - Mike S
Gengras Subaru continues to show love and support for the Torrington High School automotive program. In what has become a yearly tradition for us, we were fortunate to have class presentations by the General Manager, Assistant Service Manager, and a Technician (who is a recent THS Alumni). The group shared with our students their multiple pathways to success, their experiences, and general tips for career planning. News that a number of recent, and less recent THS Alumni are happily and successfully working at Gengras Subaru was inspiring and uplifting for the class, helping them see real world value and local opportunity. This school year was trying for our students, as midway through the year we lost our hands-on lab while we waited for the completion of our new facility. This year Gengras Subaru’s presentation happened later in the school year and helped students reevaluate their efforts and focus on success during this difficult time.

Driving Change, One Meal at a Time - Nicole M
Here at Litchfield Hills/Northwest Elderly Nutrition Program (Meals on Wheels), we believe a hot meal and a warm smile can change a day—and thanks to our partnership with Gengras Subaru, we’re able to deliver both, even beyond the holiday season. As part of the Subaru Love Promise, the team at Gengras Subaru has become more than just a donor—they’ve become part of our Meals on Wheels family. During the 2024 Share the Love Event, their incredible generosity resulted in a donation of $17,087 to support home-delivered meals for older adults across Litchfield County. But even more than that, they’ve shown up—not just with funds, but with heart. Each year, Gengras Subaru employees roll up their sleeves and help serve hundreds of meals at our Thanksgiving and Christmas luncheons. They greet our guests with cheer, plate food with care, and bring the holiday spirit right to the table. Their impact is deeply felt—and deeply appreciated. Because of their support, we’re able to reach more isolated seniors, deliver more meals, and offer a little more comfort in a world that often moves too fast. Together, we’re proving that love isn’t just a promise—it’s an action. And with partners like Gengras Subaru, it’s a promise we can keep.
Arbor Day Tree Donation - Mike B
Gengras Subaru in Torrington donated left over tree saplings to us at the White Memorial Foundation in Litchfield, CT. I would like to thank them for their generous donation of 38 native tree saplings. We plan to plant some of the trees on our main campus to replace trees that we have had to cut down. The rest of the trees will be planted in the woods to supplement the natural regeneration in a recently conducted timber harvest. The generosity of businesses like this goes a long way to help our organization meet our conservation goals. Thank you, Mike Berry Forest Manager

Gengras Subaru: Supporting Seniors in the Litchfield Hills - Nicole M
We are so tremendously fortunate to have such a community-minded company as Gengras Subaru here in the Litchfield Hills. Their partnership on the 2023 Subaru Share the Love Event is such an amazing asset to our program. Our Meals on Wheels program provides 2 meals a day to homebound seniors right here in the Litchfield County area, delivered by our friendly and caring Meals on Wheels drivers, and the funds from Share the Love help us maintain our fleet of trucks, so that we never have to skip deliveries because of mechanical problems. Even better, the staff at Gengras comes to the Sullivan Senior Center several times a year, to ride along with our Meals on Wheels drivers, or to help us serve food on our Thanksgiving and Christmas luncheons. They're always amazing helpers: friendly and engaging with our senior members, and willing to go the extra mile to make sure everyone has a great lunch. This year we'd also like to especially thank the service department for the amazing work that they did on the undercarriage coating that they applied on our fleet of trucks, helping us to preserve them from rust and corrosion from all the chemicals that they use to treat the roads in the winter. They did a great job, and we're so grateful for their hard work
