Tonkin of the Gorge Subaru Loves to Help!

We are incredibly proud to support the life-changing work being done by The Next Door through Subaru Loves to Help and Operation Warm. Their commitment to serving children and families in our community makes a powerful difference, especially for those facing urgent need.

Through this partnership, 132 brand-new winter coats are being provided to local children, offering more than just warmth, but comfort, dignity, and a reminder that their community cares deeply about them.

We are grateful for the compassion, dedication, and impact of The Next Door and Operation Warm, and we’re honored to stand beside them in supporting our community’s most vulnerable kids.
At Tonkin of the Gorge Subaru, we believe in treating our neighbors like family. Learn more about The Next Door, their mission, and how you can get involved at https://www.nextdoorinc.org/

We know that some of our neighbors may be facing extra challenges this season - so to lend a helping hand, our Tonkin of the Gorge team is hosting a POP UP FOOD BANK right here at the dealership. Our employees are coming together to collect non perishable food items with a dispersal date to follow in a subsequent post.

If you or someone you know could use a little support right now, please stop by - no questions asked, just kindness and community.

Together we can make a difference. Thank you to our incredible team and community for stepping up to take care of one another during this time. Anyone else inclined to join our efforts is greatly encouraged and welcomed.

DATE & TIME OF DISPERSAL TO BE DETERMINED.

📸 Lost Photos Found at Tonkin of the Gorge!

We recently found a couple of personal photos on our lot, and we’d really like to help them find their way back home.

One is a picture of a woman. It looks well-loved and a bit worn with time — the kind of photo someone might have carried with them. The other shows a woman with two children. We believe these photos are important to someone, and we’d love to return them to their owner.

If you recognize the people in these pictures or think they might belong to someone you know, please reach out to us here or stop by the dealership. We’d be so happy to reunite them with their family. ❤️
