The Subaru Love Promise in Action: How Zappone Subaru Norwich Is Driving Real Change in Their Community

When people search for a dealership, they are usually looking for transparency, reliability, and a place that truly cares. At Zappone Subaru Norwich, caring is a movement. It is woven into every handshake, every event, every donation, and every connection with the community they call home. And that commitment has not gone unnoticed.

Zappone Subaru Norwich (4814 State Hwy 23, Norwich, NY) is proud to be recognized with the 2025 Subaru Love Promise Community Commitment Award, a national honor from Subaru of America, Inc. reserved for retailers who consistently go above and beyond on the sales floor, in service bays, and out in the community. This award highlights Subaru retailers who deliver exceptional customer experiences and demonstrate a deep dedication to supporting local passions and causes across five key pillars: environment, community, health, education, and pets. For Zappone Subaru Norwich, these are not just initiatives; they are a promise.

What the Subaru Love Promise Really Means

The Subaru Love Promise is Subaru’s pledge to respect all people and make the world a better place. It is built on the belief that love is more than a feeling; it is an action. And that action is shown through year-round programs that uplift millions across the country. Here is how that big promise shows up in everyday ways:

Subaru Loves to Help

Subaru partners with Operation Warm® to provide brand-new coats, shoes, and socks to children experiencing urgent need, because warmth, dignity, and hope matter.

Subaru Loves the Earth

Subaru believes that what we leave behind says everything about who we are. Sustainability and environmental stewardship are fundamental, not optional.

Subaru Loves to Care

Health touches everyone. Subaru supports local health organizations to give more people the chance to lead healthier lives.

Subaru Loves Learning

Subaru retailers across the country empower teachers and students through Subaru Loves Learning®, providing resources, funding, and essential supplies to high-needs classrooms.

Subaru Loves Pets

Every pet deserves a safe, loving home, and Subaru works to help make that a reality.

Subaru Share the Love

Each year, Subaru and its retailers donate millions to national and local charities through this celebrated annual giving event. But what makes Zappone Subaru Norwich special is not just the promise; it is how they live it out.
