STUFF FOR STUDENTS :

COLORADO DEALERSHIPS GIVE BACK TO LOCAL STUDENTS
For the second year in a row , LHM Dealerships in Colorado joined with Denver ’ s 9NEWS and the Volunteers of America ( VOA ) to support the annual “ Stuff for Students ” school supply drive . Donations collected were distributed to more than 15 Colorado school districts based on the percentage of free / reduced lunch students .
“ Helping to provide students with the basic materials they need for success in the classroom is a good way to get the new school year off to a great start ,” said Ray Reilly , senior vice president of operations , Larry H . Miller Dealerships . “ Giving back in the communities where we do business has always been a guiding principle of Larry H . Miller Dealerships and we ’ re excited to continue our support of the ‘ Stuff for Students ’ campaign .”
From Aug . 1 – 31 , LHM dealerships in Denver and Boulder collected school supplies , including backpacks , pens , pencils , paper , crayons , glue sticks , and more .
“ Unfortunately , many Colorado schools continue to face budget cuts while the number of children living in poverty in the state increases ,” said Bradley Gulley , VOA director of volunteer programs . “ Thanks to donations from Larry H . Miller Dealerships and their customers , we will be able to provide more students with the basic supplies they need in the classroom . These contributions will make a real difference in the communities we serve .”
