JOHNSON CITY — Wallace Subaru of Johnson City recently delivered dozens of boxes filled with new winter coats, shoes, and socks to Youth Villages of Johnson City, benefiting more than 250 children in Northeast Tennessee.

The donation was part of a collaboration with Subaru of America, Inc., its Subaru Loves to Help program, and the nonprofit Operation Warm.

“This delivery of warm coats, shoes, and socks could not have come at a better time with such cold conditions. Hopefully, we have made winter a little easier and a little warmer for the children Youth Villages serves,” said Austin Reed, sales manager at Wallace Subaru of Johnson City. “Working with the community to help others is why Wallace Subaru of Johnson City is more than a car dealer.”
