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.

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.

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.
