Larry H. Miller Colorado Chrysler Jeep is proud to once again join in on the fun with Larry H. Miller Dealerships, Denver’s 9NEWS, and the Volunteers of America (VOA) Colorado Branch to support the 16th annual “Stuff for Students” school supply drive. We’ll be collecting throughout the month of August and distributing to more than 15 Colorado school districts to benefit students from pre-k through high school.
“We want Colorado students to start the school year off right and with the tools necessary for them to succeed,” said Ray Reilly, senior vice president of operations at 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 for a third year.”
During this month, with the help of our customers, we’ll stuff a vehicle in our showroom with school supplies galore, including backpacks, pencil boxes, highlighters, scissors, binders, book covers, calculators, etc. If contributing supplies isn’t your style, we’ll happily be accepting, monetary donations which can be made online through the VOA at http://www.voacolorado.org/news_and_events/stuff-for-students

Basic school supplies pricing is steadily increasing, potentially costing parents of high school students $900. With 23 percent of the 743,255 students in the counties served by the VOA living in poverty, we’re proud to be able to make a difference. Our donations are also going to assist nearly 25,000 students statewide who are experiencing homelessness.

“There’s still a concerning number of children living in poverty in Colorado and school funding is not sufficient enough to help with other needs like school supplies,” said Bradley Gulley, director of volunteer programs at Volunteers of America Colorado Branch. “Thanks to donations from Larry H. Miller Dealerships and their customers, we will be able to provide more students with the school supplies they need to be successful in the classroom. These contributions will make a real difference in the communities we serve.”
