Thank you Chabad of Maine for inviting our Patriot team to participate in your Kitchen of Kindness Program! We had a lot of fun cooking and packaging meals for members of our community - the menu including challah, matzo ball soup, homemade hummus, and delicious chocolate chip cookies. Rabbi Levi and Hindy Wilansky were wonderful hosts, and kindly gave us a tour of the kosher kitchen and taught our team a lot about kosher cooking.

Each package we made included a homemade meal with personalized notes from every member of the team. The whole experience had the warmth and spirit of cooking in your own kitchen, and we left feeling connected to something much bigger than ourselves.

These meals are open to anyone in the community in need of extra support, and anyone can join in for volunteer opportunities, including families.

To learn more, volunteer, or refer someone who could use a meal, find them here: chabadofmaine.com/kitchenofkindness

Our team: Matt Rieders, Kaitlyn Wade, Samantha Bock, Kelsey Antonis, Michelle Haltizer, & Dakota McGuire.

Subaru Loves to Care! Today, we put up our stand to collect messages of hope for patients and families affected by cancer. This month, for our Subaru Loves to Care initiative, Patriot Subaru will be donating 80 blankets to Northern Light Mercy Hospital and their cancer care team.

As soon as plans started to come together, there was one burning question in mind: "Will you be bringing the messages of hope again this year?"

The answer: "YES! Of course!"

These messages of hope are meaningful, creating an impact on people and families more than we realize. So we are asking our customers, employees, and community members, to please help us fill the board so every blanket delivered to a person in need comes with a kind word of encouragement!

We wish our longtime customer and friend Larry Langmore luck on his 4th year participating in the Dempsey Center's Dempsey Challenge, with his team "A Wee Ride".

Patriot Subaru was honored to contribute $2,250 toward Larry's 2026 campaign, getting him closer to his goal of raising a total of $100,000 over 4 years. Anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Larry knows just how personal this campaign is to him and how passionate he is regarding cancer screenings, especially for the under detected prostate cancer.

Larry, we wish you continued good health and can't wait to see what you and "A Wee Ride" accomplish next. You are an inspiration to all of us.

The Dempsey Challenge takes place annually in Lewiston, ME this year on September 19, 2026. It benefits the Dempsey Center, which provides support, education, and wellness services to individuals and families impacted by cancer, entirely free of charge. Learn more or donate at dempseychallenge.org.

Patriot Subaru team members: Sara Elsberry, Rossy Quinones, Adam Hall, David Shoemaker, our friend Larry Langmore, Patriot's Stefanie Beaudoin, Matt Rieders, and Steve Lawrence, and the Dempsey Center's team members Katelyn Davis, Marketing and Communications Director, Kristy, Client Experience Specialist, and Louise Cheese, Dempsey Dog, and Heather Plati, Senior Director of Development.

Meet David Hahn, who stands a mere 7'2", and has issues with hanging plants. However, the true measurement is how David and the Patriot team can help you find the right size and fit, particularly when in comes to preowned cars. Both Patriot Subaru in S**o and Patriot Acura in Scarborough buy and trade cars to give you a combined great selection of preowned vehicles to choose from. The two stores are less than 10 minutes apart, so finding a high quallity, well-maintained vehicle that fits your needs is easy! https://www.patriotsubaru.com/used-inventory/index.htm. https://patriotacura.com/used-listings/. Hanging plants should not be a problem for you!

What a day to celebrate!

Last Thursday, Subaru of New England joined us here at Patriot Subaru for a very special occasion: we've been named #1 in Sales & in Service in New England for the 5th time in 6 years! 🎉

We were honored with "The Cup" to mark this incredible achievement - but perhaps even more meaningful was receiving the Subaru Love Promise HEART Award.

The HEART Award recognizes retailers who live out these values every single day:

H - Honesty
E - Empathy
A - Appreciation
R - Respect
T - Trust

None of this would be possible without you - our community. Your trust in us means everything, and we are so eternally grateful. Thank you for being the reason we do what we do.

Presenting "The Cup" to Owner & President Adam Arens and General Manager David Shoemaker, and the award for Top 10 Parts sales to Parts Manager Greg Brown and Service Manager Paul Hall is SNE's Bill Bergeon, Bryan Dumais, Ken Scanzio, and Patrick Winther.

And as if the day couldn't get any sweeter - we also got to celebrate a very special birthday! ;-)

Happy Birthday to our Fixed Operations Director, Glen Reed!

Glen, we love you and appreciate everything you do for this team and our customers every single day. Here's to you!

🐾 Happy National Rescue Dog Day! 🐾

At Patriot Subaru, many of our staff know first hand that rescue dogs have so much love to give.

Subaru and its retailers have been proud supporters of the ASPCA and animal shelters nationwide for over a decade. And locally, we have worked with our local pet rescues, such as Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland and Animal Welfare Society.

And as it turns out, people AND dogs agree - Subaru is pretty great, and we love to see your furry co-pilots when you're here for service or sales.

Drop a photo of your rescue pup in the comments - we'd love to meet them!
