A Heartwarming Trunk or Treat Celebration - Grace V
At Stocker Subaru, our commitment to the community shines brightly through every event we host. Recently, we had the joy of hosting our annual Trunk or Treat event—a safe and festive way for kids to experience the magic of "trick or treating" while kicking off the fall holiday season. This year’s Trunk or Treat was even more spectacular than last year, with over 600 children joining the festivities. This incredible turnout is a testament to our community’s enthusiasm and our dedication to creating enjoyable and safe experiences for families. The event was filled with exciting activities that brought smiles to everyone’s faces. Our Trunk Decorating Contest was a highlight, featuring creatively themed car trunks decorated by employees from our dealerships. The kids had a blast voting for their favorite Halloween-decorated trunk, adding an extra layer of fun to the evening. Alongside the contest, we distributed hundreds of pounds of candy and gallons of hot chocolate, ensuring that every child left with sweet treats and warm hearts. We also embraced the Teal Pumpkin Project by offering non-food treats, making sure that children with food allergies or other medical conditions could safely enjoy the event. Additionally, local partners provided delicious food and beverages, showcasing the strength of our community connections. As part of our Subaru Love Promise, we are deeply grateful for the support of our community and the opportunity to give back. Events like Trunk or Treat allow us to connect with our neighbors, support local businesses, and create lasting memories together. We believe that by supporting each other, we can drive hope, warmth, and love into the hearts of those who need it most. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this Trunk or Treat event a tremendous success. We look forward to continuing our tradition of community outreach and making a positive impact together.
