A Glance at LHM Charities at Work in November and December
Give Us Five donations to Larry H. Miller
(LHM) Charities support programs that
address health and education issues that
impact women and children who live in the
communities where our companies conduct
business. In December, LHM Charities
contributed more than $260,000 to 38 charities.
A donation in Tucson, Arizona, assisted
women in crisis and helped mentor youth
(Operation 13:2). Funding also provided a
home for a single mother (Habitat for Humanity
Tucson). Phoenix contributions were part of
a 10 Days of Giving campaign, and Denver/
Boulder, Colorado, participated in a Five Days
