Larry H Miller Charities: New Mexico

The Larry H Miller dealerships in Albuquerque recently visited a total of 4 amazing organizations and were able to give each a donation to further their purpose in our community.  Every representative from the Larry H Miller Albuquerque dealerships were very touched and humbled as we learned more about each organization.

El Ranchito de Los Ninos

"El Ranchito de Los Ninos - $5,000 grant towards the educational needs for their foster children.  They currently house a total of 13 children between the ages of 2 to 18.  Their mission is to keep brothers and sisters together, and to give siblings a stable a loving home.  They are the only foster home in the State of NM who keeps sibling groups together.  One story really hit my heart about 4 brothers who were found living in a tent.  The oldest, only 3 years old, was caring for his siblings and finding them food to eat.  They have now been at this home for about a year and are all doing very well.  www.elranchitonm.org

Toyota and Community

Toyota and Community

Toyota USA has taken great strides nationally to give back to those who have supported us. Here at Larry H Miller American Toyota Albuquerque we continue that focus on our customer's and community.

 

Yes we are here to sell vehicles, but as a business, we have so much fun supporting local charities and organizations. We have had the opportunity to plant flowers at a school, support the UNM Lobos, and help fund literacy programs through the Albuquerque Public School system. We also assist with Mentoring programs with Big Brother and Big Sisters of New Mexico.

All of these are great opportunities for our Toyota team to take part in something bigger than ourselves and represent the Larry H Miller Charities in a positive way. We look forward to many more opportunities to give back to the Albuquerque community. 

Have you taken the time to volunteer your time or give monetarily to a local organization or charity?
