Hello Subaru of Temecula presented a check for $39,034 to Assistance League of Temecula Valley as the recipient of the ‘Subaru Share the Love Event”, which ran from November 16, 2023 thru January 2, 2024.
“At Hello Subaru of Temecula, we believe in more than just selling cars; we believe in making a meaningful impact in our community. Partnering with the Assistance League of Temecula for the Share the Love event has allowed us to support the Operation School Bell program, helping local kids build confidence through new clothes for the school year. Being part of this initiative inspires us to give back and reminds us that together, we can create a brighter future for our youth. We’re proud to be part of something bigger than ourselves!” said Jessica Menendez, Giving Coordinator Hello Subaru
By sponsoring the September 26th Operation School Bell dressing event at the Kohl’s Murrieta store and the October 8th dressing event at the Lake Elsinore Target., Hello Subaru of Temecula provided new school clothes to 266 identified low-income students (K-12). During the thirteen Operation School Bell dressing events from August to October, the program provided new school clothes to over 1,650 students.
Assistance League president, Annette Sheehy, said, “Assistance League of Temecula Valley values the long partnership we have had with Hello Subaru of Temecula as they support our Operation School Bell program. The funds received from the ‘Share the Love’ event enables Assistance League to reach out to more children and families in need. Thank you, Hello Subaru of Temecula, we couldn’t do it without you!”
Assistance League is a nonprofit service organization of volunteers committed to identifying and serving the needs of the Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, Lake Elsinore, Wildomar and Romoland communities through philanthropic programs developed and administered by its members. Operation School Bell, its main philanthropic program, identifies low-income school children (K-12) in the five school districts within their service area and provides the opportunity for students to select new school clothing at a tax-free value of $125 at local department stores.

Last year, chapter members volunteered over 31,000 hours of community service on behalf of local families in need.
