We Appreciate Lester Glenn! - Tricia T
Thank You, Lester Glenn Subaru! Pine Beach Elementary School is incredibly grateful to Lester Glenn Subaru of Toms River for adopting our school this year and making such a generous investment in our students and staff. Through their support, many of our staff members were given $500 each to purchase classroom supplies, allowing teachers to select resources that directly support the needs of their students and enhance learning in their classrooms. In addition, representatives from Lester Glenn Subaru visited Pine Beach Elementary to personally deliver Subaru Loves Learning Class Packs to our staff. It was wonderful to welcome them to our school and have them share in the excitement as these additional classroom resources were presented to our teachers. Community partnerships like this have a tremendous impact on our school. This generous support provides teachers with valuable materials, helps create engaging and well-equipped learning environments, and shows our students and staff that their community believes in them and is invested in their success. Thank you, Lester Glenn Subaru of Toms River, for supporting Pine Beach Elementary and helping our Panthers learn, grow, and thrive!
PINE BEACH ELEMENTARY LOVES LEARNING - Seth L
On September 15, 2026, Lester Glenn Subaru had an amazing experience at Pine Beach Elementary! We brought supply kits for the entire school, and they were so incredibly appreciative. They graciously took us to each classroom, so the individual teachers could thank us for Subaru's generosity. It was also an opportunity for the students to learn about philanthropy. The teachers have begun to receive their selections from the Adopt-a-Classroom initiative, and it very clearly makes a difference in their lives. They've invited us to come in throughout the year, and we'll be happy to contribute in any way that we can!

This wonderful act of generosity brought smiles and comfort to the patients, as well as the amazing staff. The Subaru team was so excited and grateful to make the day for the patients battling cancer a little bit easier through this delivery and are eager to come back again next year.
Lester Glenn Subaru Loves to Care - Seth L

They distributed some of the blankets immediately, and later that day, two patients came by our dealership to personally thank us, which truly touched our hearts. Lester Glenn Subaru is extremely grateful for the opportunity to regularly involve ourselves in the local community.

Delivering the Subaru Love Promise To Our Local Charity - Seth L
On Saturday May 30, Lester Glenn Subaru was visited by our local charity, Point Pleasant Challenger Flag Football. We're always happy to see team members from our community and their families, but especially when we can present them with a check for $32,760, as a result of last year's Subaru Share the Love Event. This donation will help support this wonderful organization, and provide more opportunities for team members to learn, compete, build friendships and confidence, and have fun through the game of football. It is rewarding and humbling, and a genuine pleasure, to be able to lend a hand and build lasting relationships with them.
Lester Glenn Subaru Loves Arbor Day Foundation! - Seth L
On April 2, 2026, Lester Glenn Subaru hosted a Subaru Loves the Earth event, in partnership with Arbor Day Foundation. Lester Glenn opened our doors and welcomed almost 100 excited Subaru owners from our local community, all happy to receive new trees to plant, and do their part towards protecting and conserving the environment. Each had their choice of tree species, and it was clear how much it meant to take one home with them. It was definitely one of our more successful and rewarding events.
Lester Glenn Subaru Loves to Help | The HOPE Center and Operation Warm - Emily W
Through the Subaru Loves to Help® program, in partnership with Operation Warm, Lester Glenn Subaru proudly visited The HOPE Center to provide local children with brand-new essentials such as coats, shoes, and socks this season. These items do more than keep children protected, warm, and dry - they can have a meaningful impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being. In many cases, something as simple as a warm coat can mean the difference between attending school or staying home, between participating in activities or sitting on the sidelines. No child should ever have to face those circumstances. For under-resourced children, meeting basic needs with a new coat or pair of shoes is incredibly impactful - and we know it represents far more than the items themselves. Operation Warm calls this initiative "More Than a Coat," and for good reason. For children, the experience of selecting a brand-new coat or pair of shoes in the color and style they love builds confidence, fosters independence, and provides emotional warmth. For parents and guardians, it offers relief - one less financial burden and one more reassurance that their child is cared for. For organizations like The HOPE Center, it reflects the strength of community partnership and shared purpose. And for everyone involved, it highlights the power of connection. These moments are a reflection of the Lester Glenn Experience - our commitment to treating every customer and every community member like family. At Lester Glenn Subaru, we believe in going beyond the showroom by giving back, building lasting relationships, and supporting the neighborhoods we serve. The true power of events like this lies not only in the items distributed, but in the genuine connections we build and the lives we touch throughout our community.
Lester Glenn Subaru Celebrates Subaru Loves Pets Month with Rescue Ridge - EMILY W
At Lester Glenn Subaru, caring for our community extends far beyond the showroom floor, it’s at the heart of everything we do! As part of the Subaru Love Promise and our ongoing commitment to Subaru Loves Pets, we were proud to celebrate the month of October by supporting our furry friends and the people who give them a second chance. Throughout October, we partnered with Rescue Ridge, a local animal haven in New Jersey dedicated to helping homeless and neglected animals find loving homes. To honor Subaru Loves Pets Month, our team at Lester Glenn Subaru assembled and donated new owner kits filled with goodies for both adopted rescue dogs and their new families — a small gesture to help make each adoption day even more special. Each kit was packed with love, care, and the essentials every pet and pet parent needs to start their journey together — a reflection of the compassion and community spirit that define The Lester Glenn Experience. We’re grateful to stand alongside organizations like Rescue Ridge that share our mission of kindness and hope. Together, we’re helping pets find their forever homes — one wagging tail at a time. Because at Lester Glenn Subaru, love is always at the heart of what we do, for people and pets alike.
Lester Glenn Subaru Supports Breast Cancer Awareness Through the Subaru Love Promise - Emily W
At Lester Glenn Subaru, giving back to our community is more than a tradition — it’s a reflection of who we are. As part of the Subaru Love Promise and The Lester Glenn Experience, we believe in driving change both on and off the road. This past October, our team joined forces with the American Cancer Society to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the entire month, we proudly donated on behalf of our customers, friends, and followers — contributing funds for every new like on Facebook and new follower on Instagram. And on Saturday, October 18th, our showroom turned pink as our entire team wore pink to show our support: for every new Subaru sold that day, we made an additional donation toward breast cancer research — ultimately raising thousands of dollars to help fund lifesaving programs and resources for those affected by breast cancer. This was an effort that was about more than donations; it was about community, compassion, and connection — values that drive everything we do at Lester Glenn Subaru. We are honored to stand beside our customers and our community in the fight against breast cancer, and we look forward to continuing to make a positive impact through the Subaru Love Promise.
