SANDY, UT (April 29, 2020) – The Larry H. Miller Group of Companies (LHM Group) today announced a public week-long, statewide food drive at its car dealerships, movie theatres and sports facilities to support the Utah Food Bank and help address food insecurity conditions caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
The “Driven to Assist” campaign will begin on Thursday, April 30 through Wednesday, May 6 at all 22 Larry H. Miller Dealerships locations in Utah, 13 LHM Megaplex Theatres, home of the NBA Utah Jazz at Vivint Smart Home Arena and home of the MiLB Salt Lake Bees at Smith’s Ballpark.
Donations can be made between 2-6 p.m. each day (except Sunday, May 3) at drive-thru locations. The adjacent Park Place will be used for donation drop-offs at Vivint Smart Home Arena and the North Parking Lot for Smith’s Ballpark. LHM Group employees will provide on-site staffing with appropriate Utah Department of Health social distancing and sanitization practices, including the wearing of face masks.
“We invite communities throughout the state to join us in assisting those who may be facing challenges during this unprecedented time,” said Gail Miller, owner and chair of the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies. “One of our guiding principles at the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies is to ‘go about doing good until there is too much good in the world.’ I am impressed with Utahns’ willingness to collaborate and to serve others. Together, we can help fulfill a critical need for the Utah Food Bank and its partners.”
Each location in the “Driven to Assist” initiative will provide unique “thank you for the assist” items. A minimum of eight cans of food or equivalent value is required to receive one thank you item per vehicle.
