Meals on Wheels and Minooka Subaru - Bill L
After a day of delivering for Meals on Wheels, I noticed a strange sound coming from my car. I took it right to Minooka Subaru where it was promptly evaluated and a simple fix was found! While I was there I was speaking with Joe Corbett about a planned major donation from Minooka Subaru for 2026 as Meals on Wheels moves into our new facility. As an aside, Joe brought up the Holiday Gift Drive which Minooka Subaru has also partnered with us on in the past. I hadn’t intended to ask for a donation as we were already discussing this major donation. Joe said they would be happy to help with the Holidy Gift Drive again regardless! He told me to return the next day and had assembled a trunk load of toiletries for us to distribute. Thanks again to the Corbett family and Minooka Subaru for your continued support of Meals on Wheels of NEPA!
Minooka Subaru supports Cypress House Bakery - Eileen O
Cypress House at St. Luke’s will be offering a paid bakery training program for those previously incarcerated. Employment has been shown to decrease recidivism and restore dignity. Minooka Subaru has shown faith in this mission over the past few of fundraising. Thanks to their generosity, Cypress House Bakery will be accepting the first cohort of trainees in early 2026.
Minooka Subaru Supports the Cael Hill Foundation - Reagan and Matt H
At the Cael Hill Foundation, we have seen firsthand how powerful true community support can be — and Minooka Subaru showed up for us in an incredible way. Our son, Cael, lives with Dravet Syndrome, a rare and severe form of epilepsy, and we started Cael’s Climb – 5K and Family Fun Day for Dravet to help raise critical research funds in the search of a cure. Minooka Subaru’s sponsorship helped turn hope into action and brought families, friends, and neighbors together for a cause that is very close to our hearts. They didn’t just sponsor an event — they supported our son, our family, and a mission bigger than ourselves. Because of their generosity, we were able to raise awareness and meaningful funds for Dravet Syndrome research and remind families like ours that we’re not walking this journey alone. We are deeply grateful for their partnership and their commitment to making a real difference.
Keystone Mountain Bike Team - Bryan S
The Keystone Mountain Bike Team is a youth development organization dedicated to fostering strong minds, healthy bodies, and exemplary character through the sport of mountain biking. The team comprises approximately 40 student-athletes who engage in regular training and travel throughout the state to participate in competitive races and organized adventure events. These opportunities would not be possible without the steadfast support of Minooka Subaru. Given the inherently high-risk nature of mountain biking, this support plays a critical role in ensuring that our athletes are able to train, travel, and compete in a safe and responsible manner.
Minooka Subaru Teams Up to Support Local Community - Karen D
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 Moosic, this is a harsh reality. Helping others strengthens communities, which is why Minooka 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 Minooka Subaru have helped nearly 900,000 children and adults in urgent need. On 01/13/2025, Minooka Subaru donated 150 coats & 150 shoes/socks to United Neighborhood Centers - PA. 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.
School Spirit - mary s
I have been a loyal Minooka Subaru customer since I've been able to drive. I have always known them to go above and beyond from what I would expect of a car dealership. I am a teacher in the Scranton School District in the neighboring town from where Minooka is located. A lot of our students have benefited directly from the work they have done throughout the community. I reached out to Minooka to see if they were willing to sponsor the Boys Volleyball team at West Scranton High School. They generously agreed and provided us with funds to get our team spirit wear that they could proudly wear to school. I am so thankful for the generosity of the Corbetts!
Minooka Subaru's Generosity Supports UNC - Shannon C
A heartfelt thank you goes out to Minooka Subaru, their Subaru Loves to Help initiative, and their partner, Operation Warm, for their generous donation to United Neighborhood Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania (UNC). Their contribution of brand-new coats, shoes, and socks made a significant difference to the families served by our Community Services Department. These essential items were distributed to all three of our Child Care Centers and our Angel’s Attic Food and Clothing Pantry clients. The need for support in our community is greater than ever. The increasing cost of food has had a devastating impact, especially on the vulnerable populations that UNC serves. In these challenging times, UNC continues to provide various services to help families and individuals in crisis, including food assistance, housing and utility support, health counseling, prescription vouchers, and more. UNC also plays a key role in supporting individuals in pursuing economic stability through job readiness and workforce development programs. These programs help people enter careers in high-priority fields that offer family-sustaining wages. In addition, UNC offers educational programs for children, teens, and adults, including opportunities for older adults to age independently and thrive. Our English as a Second Language and adult literacy classes offer invaluable support to new immigrants as they adjust to life in the community. UNC is also committed to improving the quality of life in the Pine Brook section of Scranton through its neighborhood revitalization project, helping to strengthen the community and create new opportunities for residents. The pictures include Jessica Wallo, UNC’s Director of Community Services; Joe Corbett, Minooka Subaru; Jeffrey Ginsberg, UNC’s Permanent Supportive Housing Case Manager; and Jim Corbett, Minooka Subaru.
