As a part of the annual Subaru Loves To Care initiative, this year, Schomp Subaru partnered with several Aurora-area shelter facilities to obtain and assemble packs of items that Aurora’s homeless population needs the most, such as socks, various sanitary products, chapstick, and sunscreen. We worked closely with three Aurora centers, mentioned below, on a distribution plan for these packs and we were also able to partner with several other organizations in the area for additional distribution.
The Schomp Subaru Volunteer Team stuffed 1,200 convenient, water-resistant waist packs with crew socks, sunscreen, lip balm, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a comb, lotion, and sanitary wipes at the Schomp Subaru North Showroom on Monday, June 21. Then on Monday, June 28, we distributed the packs to the centers in need all across Aurora.
