Miller Dealerships, Denver’s 9NEWS, and Volunteers of America Colorado Branch have partnered in hosting the “Stuff for Students” school supply drive during the month of August. The goal of the campaign is to help ease the financial burden that low-income families and teachers face in preparing children for the school year. “The donated school supplies…make a real difference in helping children to succeed in the classroom.” Bradley Gulley Volunteers of America Colorado In the Denver Public School system, there are more than 90,000 students enrolled, with over 60,000 of those students participating in the free/ reduced lunch program. Since 2015, Larry H. Miller Dealerships have collected $75,000 in school supplies, and the campaign has collected close to $230,000 in school supplies that have benefited more than 200,000 Colorado students. “The start of the school year is an important time for kids. They want to be ready to learn, and they want to fit in with a new backpack full of supplies,” explained Bradley Gulley, director of volunteer services, Volunteers of America Colorado. “For children living in poverty, a lack of resources can prevent them from having the supplies they need to be successful. The donated school supplies from Larry H. Miller Dealerships and their customers make a real difference in helping children to succeed in the classroom.” ◆ LHMWSM.com 7
