Sheehy Subaru Donates 132 Winter Coats To Local Children

FREDERICKSBURG, VA — Sheehy Subaru of Fredericksburg recently distributed winter coats to children at Stafford Junction. This action was part of the national Subaru Loves to Help campaign. The initiative is a component of the Subaru Love Promise.

The coats, valued at $3,300, provided warmth to 132 children during the winter season. This effort was made possible through Subaru’s partnership with Operation Warm. Operation Warm is a nonprofit organization focused on ensuring children have access to new, warm coats.

DJ Bruce, General Manager of Sheehy Subaru of Fredericksburg, commented on the donation. “Access to something as vital as a warm coat can make a powerful difference in a child’s life, especially during harsh winter weather,” Bruce said. He added that Sheehy Subaru is proud to support organizations like Stafford Junction through Subaru Loves to Help. Bruce noted that these organizations work to care for children and families in the community.

Stafford Junction serves families facing homelessness and housing instability. The organization offers various programs addressing both immediate needs and long-term objectives. The coat distribution helps ensure children can attend school and daily activities with comfort and confidence during cooler months.

The Subaru Loves to Help initiative focuses on making a positive community impact nationwide. It supports children in need, disaster relief efforts, and essential-item donations. This is achieved through collaborations with nonprofit partners, including Operation Warm and the American Red Cross.

Sheehy Auto Stores, Inc. is celebrating 60 years of service in 2026. The family-owned automotive group was founded in 1966. Through Sheehy Cares, the company donated over $1 million in 2025. This reinforces a legacy of giving spanning six decades.
