arry H. Miller Dealerships has launched its month-long “Luggage of Love” drive to help hundreds of Arizona children who enter foster care each month transition into a safe home with items of comfort. They are collecting suitcases and other items throughout March to support children statewide who are served by the Arizona Department of Child Safety. “Children who enter foster care, are often removed from their homes in the middle of the night, with little to no time to pack a bag of their belongings,” said Pat Kroneberger, senior vice president of Larry H. Miller Dealerships “Through our partnership with DCS, we’ve learned how traumatic and heartbreaking this experience can be, and we simply want children to have hope for better days ahead. If we can make a positive impact on their lives through our donations of suitcases and basic items of comfort like pajamas, socks, and pillows, then it’s an honor and privilege to do so.” People can stop at Larry H. Miller Ford Mesa, 460 E. Auto Center Drive or Larry H. Miller Nissan at 2025 Riverview Auto Drive, both Mesa to donate. Donated items can include carry-size roller suitcases, blankets, pillows, pajamas and socks for children up to the age of 18. All donated items must be new and unused.
