More Than Just Shopping for a Subaru - Rebecca K
I recently stopped by Hodges Subaru because I was considering leasing a new Subaru Forester. I expected the usual dealership experience—looking at vehicles, asking questions, and maybe taking a test drive. What I didn't expect was to walk into a pet adoption event! As a dog owner myself, I thought this was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen at a car dealership. There were adorable dogs looking for loving homes, and it was heartwarming to see the dealership using its space to help animals in need. I've always believed that how a business treats its community says a lot about the people running it. Seeing Hodges Subaru support a pet adoption really meant something to me. They weren't just trying to sell cars that day. They were doing something genuinely good and helping make a difference. I came in interested in a Forester, but I left with an even better impression of Hodges Subaru. It's refreshing to see a dealership that cares about more than just selling vehicles.
Bringing Comfort and Compassion to The Rose Cancer Center - Mary G
Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness leave the biggest impact. This year's Subaru Loves to Care delivery at The Rose Cancer Center, Beaumont Royal Oak, served as a heartfelt reminder that patients and families facing cancer are surrounded by a community that cares deeply about their well-being. Through the partnership between Hodges Subaru and The Rose Cancer Center, Beaumont Royal Oak, blankets and care items were delivered to bring warmth, comfort, and encouragement to patients receiving treatment. These thoughtful gifts represent much more than a simple delivery—they are a tangible reminder that patients are not alone and that their community is standing beside them every step of the way. We are incredibly grateful to the team at Hodges Subaru for their generosity and dedication to making a difference in the lives of local patients. Their commitment to giving back through the Subaru Loves to Care initiative reflects the compassion and community spirit that help brighten even the most difficult days. The physicians, nurses, and care teams at The Rose Cancer Center provide exceptional care and unwavering support to patients and their loved ones throughout every stage of the cancer journey. Their partnership with Hodges Subaru helped extend that care beyond treatment, creating meaningful moments of comfort and connection for those walking through one of life's greatest challenges. A warm blanket, a thoughtful care item, and a simple reminder that someone is thinking of you can make a world of difference during treatment. It is these moments of kindness that help foster hope, strength, and resilience when they are needed most. Together, Hodges Subaru and The Rose Cancer Center, Beaumont Royal Oak transformed a simple blanket delivery into a meaningful expression of compassion, hope, and community. We are grateful to everyone involved for helping bring comfort, encouragement, and brighter moments to patients and families throughout southeast Michigan.
Love to Run! - Jeff P
As a parent of a student on the L'Anse Creuse High School Cross Country team, I wanted to share my sincere appreciation for the incredible support Hodges Subaru provided to our athletes this season. Your sponsorship made a meaningful difference not just financially, but emotionally for every student, coach, and family involved. Cross country can be a demanding sport, and our kids pour their hearts into early mornings, long practices, and weekend meets. Knowing that a respected local business like Hodges Subaru believes in them and is willing to invest in their success brought a sense of pride and motivation that can’t be overstated. The team felt truly seen and supported by their community. It’s rare today to find a company that consistently steps up for local schools and youth programs, and Hodges Subaru continues to set the example. Your willingness to give back strengthens not only our team, but the broader community. Parents notice it. Students feel it. And it genuinely makes a difference. On behalf of the entire L'Anse Creuse cross country community, thank you for your belief in our kids.
A Hodges Halloween! - Ben S
I stopped by Hodges Subaru on Saturday to look at cars and couldn’t believe what was going on, they had a full “Trunk or Treat” event set up for the whole neighborhood! It wasn’t just for customers as they welcomed everyone from the community to join in. The team was grilling hamburgers and hot dogs and there was candy everywhere for the kids (and yes, for us adults too!) and the atmosphere and weather was just awesome! It’s rare to see a business go out of its way like that for the community. You can really tell that Hodges Subaru cares about people and not just selling cars. I’m so glad I happened to be there to experience it. What a fun day!
Ferndale Pride - Trevor S
As a Ferndale neighbor and proud Pride attendee, I want to thank Hodges Subaru for showing up for our community year after year. Your sponsorship of the Ferndale Pride Festival isn’t just a logo on a banner, it’s real support that helps create a safe, joyful space for everyone to celebrate who they are. You keep the spirit of inclusion alive on Nine Mile. Thanks for being a business that leads with heart and makes Ferndale stronger.
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.

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!

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.
