Hodges Subaru Wraps Patients in Support at The Rose Cancer Center - Mary G
In a heartfelt show of compassion, Hodges Subaru partnered with Corewell Health’s Rose Cancer Center at Beaumont Royal Oak to deliver cozy blankets of love as part of the national Subaru Loves to Care initiative. Each blanket was accompanied by handwritten messages of hope, reminding those undergoing cancer treatment that they are not alone. This community-focused event aligns with Subaru’s decade‑long partnership with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), during which over 400,000 blankets and patient care kits have been donated nationwide to support blood cancer patients. Local participants from Hodges Subaru—alongside oncology staff members—witnessed firsthand the comfort and uplift each blanket brought to patients during infusion appointments . These gestures embody Subaru’s “Love Promise” commitment to caring for communities as more than a car company. “Our involvement with Subaru Loves to Care has been deeply meaningful,” said the General Manager at Hodges Subaru. “Delivering blankets and notes at The Rose Cancer Center, observing the smiles and warm reactions—it reminds us why we do this.”
Hodges Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Shellee B
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 Ferndale, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Hodges 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 Hodges Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/21/2025, Hodges Subaru donated 120 coats to COTS - Peggy's Place. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, it can have a significant impact on a child's mental and emotional well-being.
Children's blankets - T R
In late February Hodges Subaru came up big by donating some children's blankets to a local Detroit homeless shelter. It was such a welcomed donation during such a harsh winter!

Food Drive - Todd P
Hodges Subaru of Ferndale once again participated in the community food drive. They are a contributing member of a list of businesses in the Ferndale area who help collect non-perishable items throughout the month of November. The Jingle & Mingle food drive put on by Renaissance Vineyard Food Pantry is always well represented by local businesses and so fortunate to have a partner in Hodges Subaru who gives back to their community and help people in need!
Pet adoption - Vince D
In October, during the National pet wellness month, Hodges Subaru participated in a pet adoption event held right inside their own dealership. The pet shelter, I heart dogs, is who they partnered with during the event. Hodges loves giving back to the community and supporting a cause that everyone can get behind by offering up a helping hand for these beautiful animals!! Just a heartwarming event that everyone enjoyed!
Trunk or Treat - Lonka H
My husband and I recently went shopping for a Subaru at Hodges in Ferndale. Upon arrival we were met with the coolest idea- they had a trunk or treat going on for all the kids in the community and customers that were shopping! Needless to say our kids LOVED it and wanted to go back the following day as well, hahaha! It just helped solidify to me and my husband that we made the right decision going to Hodges. They take care of their customers and have fun doing it. I was able to buy a new car and my kids were able to go trick or treating at the same time, everyone left happy! Thank you Hodges!!
Helping local school - Adam B
I recently went to Hodges to purchase a new Subaru Outback and was totally blown away to see that they we're helping a local school that my best friend works at! They had "adopted" a class room and helped provide the school with additional supplies. It's really cool to see Subaru extend a helping hand. My new Outback is AWESOME and I really enjoyed dealing with everyone at Hodges and I called my friend right from the dealership to tell her how cool I thought all of this was!! I just LOVE Ferndale and here is just another example of why this community is so unique and different, in a great way!!
Hodges Subaru Delivery @ Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital - Mary G
The Hodges Subaru delivery for the Subaru Loves To Care program was nothing short of a success and joy filling experience. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to TJ, and all of Hodges Subaru for their incredible blanket delivery at Corewell Health William Beaumont University Hospital. The happiness and warmth these blankets brought to patients were truly heartwarming! A special thank you to Mallory Slusser for representing LLS and to Melissa at Corewell Health for helping to coordinate this for her patients. The dedication and support mean the world to us. “Together, we're spreading warmth and kindness in our community. Thank you!” - Melissa
Can Drive - Derek A
When I was at Hodges shopping for a vehicle I noticed that the sales department was collecting canned food and other nonperishable food for the less fortunate during the holidays, how cool! Upon further inspection my salesperson told me that they also hold a "casual for a cause" fundraiser EVERY Friday!! They all wear jeans in the store or other casual attire but pay into a pot to do so. Once they accrue a substantial amount of money they donate it to a worthy cause/charity, what an absolutely amazing idea!! This is what separates Hodges from the others. It's a perfect, small, down to earth dealership!
