Stevens Creek Toyota Partners with Humane Society Silicon Valley for 'Tacoma for Tails' Supply Drive

Throughout November, Stevens Creek Toyota is collecting new, unopened pet supplies to support Humane Society Silicon Valley and pets across the community. The ongoing drive will feature a special Tacoma for Tails celebration on Saturday, November 22, 2025, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Stevens Creek Toyota located at 4202 Stevens Creek Blvd, San Jose, CA 95129.

Stevens Creek Toyota and HSSV are teaming up to make a difference for pets in need through the Tacoma for Tails Supply Drive. The special community event on November 22 will feature donation drop-offs, the chance to meet adoptable animals, and opportunities to connect with the dedicated teams supporting them. Donations collected throughout the month will help stock HSSV's shelter and community programs that provide food, supplies, and critical care to pets and the families who love them—support that's needed now more than ever, especially during the holiday months.

Most-needed items include dry and canned dog or cat food, puppy and kitten formula, treats, toys, leashes, collars, harnesses, cat litter, grooming supplies, blankets, towels, and enrichment items. Community drives like Tacoma for Tails have a direct, immediate impact on pets and the people who love them, said Nancy Willis, Vice President of Strategic Growth at Humane Society Silicon Valley. Every bag of food, every leash, every toy helps us provide care, keep families together, and create a stronger, brighter future for animals across our region. We're grateful to Stevens Creek Toyota and everyone pitching in.

This partnership means a lot to us—not just as a business, but as members of this community, said Ray Khandan, General Manager of Stevens Creek Toyota. Pets bring so much joy and companionship into our lives, and we're honored to help ensure every animal gets the care and love they deserve. The event will feature trucks and donation bins filling with pet supplies, HSSV team members, volunteers, and dealership staff in event T-shirts collecting and organizing donations, and photo opportunities with adoptable-ambassador animals and community donors.

Donations are accepted at Stevens Creek Toyota throughout the month of November, and monetary gifts to support HSSV's lifesaving work and fire rebuild efforts are also welcome. Humane Society Silicon Valley has been serving the community since 1929, securing permanent, loving homes for more than 500,000 animals. The organization offers a wide range of services, including adoption, access to affordable veterinary care, community wellness clinics, a targeted spay/neuter program, and a pet pantry to support pet owners in need.

This initiative represents a significant community partnership that addresses the growing need for pet support services during challenging economic times. The collaboration between a long-standing automotive dealership and a respected animal welfare organization demonstrates how businesses can play a crucial role in supporting local non-profits and addressing community needs. The timing of the drive during the holiday season is particularly impactful, as many families face increased financial pressures while striving to provide for their pets.

The Tacoma for Tails event not only provides immediate material support for shelter animals but also raises awareness about the ongoing needs of animal welfare organizations. By involving community members directly through donation opportunities and interactions with adoptable animals, the initiative helps build lasting connections between residents and local animal services. This type of corporate-community partnership model could serve as an example for other businesses seeking to make meaningful contributions to their local communities while addressing pressing social needs.
