Local nonprofits get a little help doing a lot of good thanks to the Millers Foundation.
Millers and the Millers Foundation are committed to developing relationships and programs that support the local community. Many of the charities that receive contributions from the Foundation are well known to Millers customers and employees; others are grass-roots groups who are meeting an unmet need. Regardless, everyone knows that these efforts benefit people right here in Hampton Roads.
The Millers Foundation works to identify and support organizations that really make a difference. The 2019-2020 grants helped provide—
STEM kits for afterschool programs at Boys and Girls Clubs; communication devices lending library for kids with disabilities; entrepreneurial and financial education for incarcerated youth; residential shelter for teens in crisis; Police and Friends Sports League for kids in Newport News; volunteer coordination for court appointed special advocates for children in Norfolk’s foster care; Music Connections program in Norfolk’s senior center; books for literacy programs in local shelters for women and children; funding for one child and his family to visit Disney’s “Give Kids the World” Village; supplies for low-income dancers through Todd Rosenlieb Dance Center’s City Dance Outreach; transportation assistance for women seeking mammograms in rural western Tidewater; safety lights for low income bike commuters; one scholarship for a female African physics student to attend a international STEM conference and more!
