Larry H. Miller Dealerships in Arizona collected $94,000 worth of suitcases, pillows, blankets, pajamas and more for Arizona children entering foster care during their “Luggage of Love” campaign in March. The campaign culminated in April, when a caravan of Larry H. Miller Dealerships vehicles stuffed with suitcases and items of comfort delivered the donations to the Arizona Department of Child Safety’s Welcome Centers in Phoenix and Tucson. Donations included 320 suitcases, 843 pajamas, and 2,477 packages of socks.
“Every child has a right to live in a safe, healthy and comfortable environment, but many Arizona children are trapped in circumstances beyond their control,” said Mary Marcelli, Arizona controller, Larry H. Miller Dealerships. “They are removed from their homes and families, and often, there is either no time to pack a bag, or even worse, nothing to pack. With our donation of luggage, pillows, blankets, pajamas and socks, we hope to give these kids some comfort in a very trying time.”
