environment, and helping people in need. As part of its Subaru Hawaii Loves The Earth Love

(FHVNP) were both chosen.

pets, and environment. During a year of so much uncertainty, the importance of their operations
increased ten-fold,” said Peter Dames, executive vice president, Subaru Hawaii “Subaru Hawaii
is proud to have provided assistance to our community members and their very deserving
