When did your passion for Volkswagen begin? The day I started, my employees and customers are so passionate about this brand it made me realize how special the culture is!

Why would you pick a Volkswagen over another brand? Fuel efficiency, really fun to drive, great in this climate, they last forever. Volkswagen just came out with a commercial about how they have more cars on the road with over 100,000 miles than any other manufacturer! That's a big statement !!

Partnering with Non-profits to Help Our Community

Working for the Larry H. Miller Group offers a variety of ways to support non-profits in our community.  Employees at LHM Volkswagen Lakewood have the option of donating a portion of their income to the Larry H. Miller Charities fund, which is dispersed to local non-profit groups focusing on the needs of women and children’s issues with an emphasis on health and education.

Larry H. Miller was devoted to making the world a better place, saying “Go about doing good until there is too much good in the world.”

Recently, our employees donated $5,000 to The Arvada Community Food Bank to help support their “Feeding the Future Backpack” program, which provides food to children at 13 Arvada and Wheat Ridge elementary schools each weekend for the entire school year.  These schools have a high percentage of children on the “Free and Reduced Lunch” programs.  For many of these students, the majority of their food comes from the meals served while they’re in school. 

LHMVW employees learn more about the food bank and the programs they offer to the community.

Donating $100 covers the costs of one child for the school year. Each Friday, the participating children receive a sack filled with two breakfast items, two lunch items, 2 snacks, 1 fresh or canned fruit and one canned vegetable.

The Arvada Community Food Bank has seen a 30% increase in demand to help feed area children.  The food bank is also supported by a network of volunteers who cover everything from sorting and cleaning food donations, stocking shelves, food distribution, and assisting clients with other miscellaneous needs. 

Randy Weinert explains the shopping system at the food bank.

If you have the opportunity to donate money or volunteer your time, please consider The Arvada Community Food Bank to help support the many wonderful programs they offer to our neighbors in need.
