When purpose meets action, communities thrive, and that’s exactly what the partnership between Operation Warm and Subaru of America has made possible.

We’re proud to share that Subaru of America and Operation Warm have been named a 2026 Partners in Philanthropy honoree by the Philadelphia Business Journal, recognizing the powerful impact that corporate and nonprofit partnerships can have when they are rooted in shared values and long-term commitment.

Recognizing Partnerships That Strengthen Communities

Each year, the Philadelphia Business Journal’s Partners in Philanthropy Awards honor collaborations between nonprofit organizations and for-profit companies that are making a measurable difference across the Greater Philadelphia region. Honorees are selected by the Business Journal’s editorial board based on the scope and impact of their work, including factors such as fundraising, volunteer engagement, and the number of people served.

In 2026, 26 partnerships were recognized for their commitment to strengthening local communities and we’re honored that the partnership between Subaru of America and Operation Warm was among them.

Why the Subaru–Operation Warm Partnership Stands Out

At the heart of this recognition is a shared belief: every child deserves to feel confident, comfort, and hopeful — no matter their circumstances.

Through our partnership, Subaru of America and Operation Warm have provided access to brand-new coats, shoes, and socks for hundreds of thousands of children who need them most.  Together, we’ve also engaged employees and communities in meaningful, hands-on ways. Together, we’ve worked to ensure that warmth is more than a moment — it’s a message of dignity, belonging, and hope and inspiration for lasting connection.

This award reflects not just a single initiative, but a relationship built on trust, collaboration, and a deep commitment to serving children in need.

Looking Ahead

For Operation Warm, this recognition is both an honor and a reminder of what’s possible when mission-driven organizations and corporate partners come together with intention.

We’re grateful to Subaru of America for standing alongside us — and for helping ensure that more children can step into each day feeling warm, confident, and ready to thrive.
