Your Give Us Five Dollars at Work
A Glance at LHM Charities at Work in Arizona and California
The Larry H. Miller (LHM) Group of
Companies focuses on enriching lives,
and LHM Charities helps us achieve this
mission by supporting nonprofits that assist
women and children. Funding stays in the state
where it is contributed and is directed toward
programs that address the issues of health and
education.
Employees in California supported local
education through an LHM Charities donation
to the Corona Norco Schools Education
Foundation. Funding is providing grants in
the areas of academic intervention, STEM
and technology upgrades, and after-school
enrichment programs in arts, music, and science.
A donation was also provided to the Corona
chapter of Blue Star Mothers, a nonprofit group
of local women who are mothers of children
who have served in the military. The women
work together to provide care packages to
deployed troops. Service members often tell
Blue Star Mothers that the packages help them
feel their country has not forgotten them.
In Arizona, Tucson employees provided
a donation from LHM Charities to Portable
Practical Educational Preparation (PPEP) for
its Youth Build program. The program serves
youth ages 16–24 who have dropped out of
school but are still eligible to earn a diploma.
Youth are given the means to earn a high school
diploma through on-line school. PPEP TEC
High School specializes in serving at-risk youth,
and PPEP programs address multiple issues,
such as gang and domestic violence, drug and
alcohol counseling, leadership and community
development, and career pathways.
You can enrich lives in your local community
by making monthly contributions to Larry H.
Miller Charities through the Give Us 5 payroll
deduction program. Any amount is welcome, and
Gail Miller supports these efforts by matching
employee donations dollar-per-dollar. Contact
your payroll or human resources administrator to
learn how you can sign up. For more information
about Larry H. Miller Charities and the impact it
is making in your community, contact one of the
committee members in your area. ◆
