For the second year, Larry H. Miller Hyundai, Larry

and Larry H. Miller Downtown aHonda presented
the Union Gospel Mission with a $5,000 donation
to fund their annual City-Wide Thanksgiving Dinner,
which took place on Wednesday, November 25 at
the Spokane Convention Center. The grant for the
donation came through Larry H. Miller Charities.
Dealership GMs and employees helped serve
Thanksgiving dinner to more than 1,000 homeless
and low-income families. In addition, the stores
donated either a turkey or a turkey dinner for every
new vehicle purchased at their respective location.
“Family is central to our organization and we are
thankful to be able to help provide members of
our community with a warm dinner on this special
day,” said John O’Bryan, senior vice president of
operations, Larry H. Miller Dealerships.
The Union Gospel Mission has worked to meet the
needs of those who are less fortunate in Spokane
for more than 60 years. The organization began
as a soup kitchen in 1951 and has grown into a
comprehensive ministry providing rescue, recovery
and restoration, including three shelters, two thrift
stores, an automotive business and a summer camp
for underprivileged youth.
“There’s nothing more exciting than when local
businesses partner with nonprofit organizations
to make things happen,” said Phil Altmeyer,
executive director, Union Gospel Mission. “We are
extremely grateful that Larry H. Miller Dealerships
has chosen to partner with the Union Gospel
Mission for the second year in a row to provide
a delicious Thanksgiving meal for some of the
neediest individuals in our community. Plus, they
are volunteering at the event, which is a gift in itself!”
