Warming Hearts in Queens: Koeppel Subaru's Coat, Sock & Turkey Giveaways

We, at Koeppel Subaru, pride ourselves on treating every current or future Subaru owner like family, extending this ethos beyond our showroom to actively engage and uplift our local community. This deep-rooted commitment to service and compassion is vibrantly expressed through our overarching initiative, Koeppel Kares. This program embodies our dedication to making a tangible, positive impact on the lives of our employees, our valued customers, and the wider community we are privileged to serve.

We believe that true success is measured not only by our business achievements but by the meaningful difference we make in people's lives. In this spirit, we are delighted to share how our specific initiatives exemplify our mission to warm hearts in Queens and beyond.

Operation Warm Coat Giveaway

Winter in New York can be unforgiving, and for children lacking adequate protection, the cold can be more than just uncomfortable; it can impede their health, well-being, and even their ability to participate confidently in daily life. Recognizing this profound need, our Koeppel Kares initiative proudly partners with Operation Warm, a remarkable non-profit organization devoted to providing brand-new winter coats to children who need them most.

We understand the significant impact a warm, well-fitting coat can have, offering not only physical warmth but also a crucial boost to a child's confidence and sense of dignity.

Our collaboration with Operation Warm specifically targets the local community of P.S.148Q, allowing us to identify and reach children who may not have access to appropriate winter clothing. Through our donation, we ensure that these children receive coats that are thoughtfully chosen to be both functional and weather-appropriate, as well as stylish and age-appropriate.

This initiative goes far beyond simply handing out garments. It is about fostering a sense of care and ensuring that every child feels valued and supported. We firmly believe that by addressing such fundamental needs, we contribute to a stronger, healthier, and more empowered generation.

Sock Donations at Local Queens Shelter

The simplest necessities often hold the greatest significance, particularly for individuals experiencing homelessness. Among the most requested yet frequently overlooked items in shelters are socks. It is a stark reality that for many, a clean, warm pair of socks can make an immeasurable difference in their daily comfort, health, and overall sense of dignity.

This is why Koeppel Subaru, as an active contributor to community welfare, has made a compassionate commitment to regularly donate socks to local women's shelters, including The Kings Inn Family Center, which is run by CAMBA.

This initiative stems from a deep understanding of the critical role that a basic item like socks plays in promoting the well-being of those facing challenging circumstances. For individuals living in shelters, consistent access to clean socks helps prevent foot infections, provides warmth during cold nights, and offers a small but significant comfort that can positively impact their mental and physical health.

By focusing on this often-underserved need, Koeppel Subaru reinforces its dedication to supporting those who rely on local shelters. It underscores our belief that every individual deserves warmth, comfort, and dignity, and that even the smallest acts of kindness can create substantial positive change within our beloved Queens community.

Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway

The holiday season is a time for gratitude, togetherness, and generosity, and few traditions embody this spirit more than a shared meal with loved ones. At Koeppel Auto Group, our annual Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway is a heartwarming tradition that deeply resonates with the values of community support and generosity we uphold.

Each year, we joyfully extend holiday cheer to every single employee by gifting them a turkey, ensuring that each member of our team can enjoy a festive Thanksgiving meal. What truly makes this tradition special is the option provided to our employees: they can choose to pay it forward by donating their turkeys to families who are facing challenges during the holiday season.

This initiative creates a wonderful ripple effect of kindness, allowing our team members to not only enjoy their own celebrations but also to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. The turkeys generously donated by our employees are directed to families associated with the Lions Club and P.S.148Q, reaching those who might otherwise struggle to put a festive meal on their table.

This annual act of giving reflects the core values of the Koeppel family and our broader dedication to making a positive impact, one turkey at a time.

A Tradition of Community Support

Our unwavering dedication to the Queens community is a cornerstone of who we are. Through initiatives like the Operation Warm Coat Giveaway, our vital Sock Donations, and the heartwarming Thanksgiving Turkey Giveaway, we are deeply committed to making a difference in the lives of our neighbors, extending warmth, comfort, and support where it is needed most.

These efforts, alongside many others under the Koeppel Kares banner, reflect our genuine commitment and compassion for our employees, our customers, and our community. We are proud to be a part of the vibrant fabric of Queens!
