Community Involvement

Women dominate car-buying decisions – and play a leading role in 85 percent of auto purchases. While this information speaks to us at our industry level, women have major influence across all avenues. The Women of Influence Summit hosted by Next Monday brings women together to unleash their personal and collective influence and celebrate the influence in us all. This event provides an opportunity to give influence a name and helps women identify what makes their power meaningful. At Miller Auto & Marine, we see that power of influence each day in Central Minnesota and applaud the influencers who affect change in their personal and professional lives. We’re proud to partner with Next Monday on an event – or movement – of this magnitude.

This event happens annually in the fall. For more information and to learn what the day will feature, visit here.

Starting in 2018, we decided to reallocate some of our advertising dollars and give back to our local schools. We talked to a few schools and found out there is a need for Back Packs and School supplies each year for less fortunate students. We reacted almost immediately to this need. Some of our employees worked with SHOPKO and purchased nearly 200 backpacks and filled them up with school supplies. During Open house weekend, we delivered school supplies to 8 different elementary schools so they could distribute during open house. This was a great experience for both the schools and our employees. There is nothing better than giving back to your local community especially when you know it will help students Focus on Learning and not what they have or don’t have. We plan on doing this every year going forward, so if you are interested in partnering with us on this, contact our Marketing Manager at 320-529-4169.

Each year we pick a charity and dedicate time and fundraising towards it. In 2019 it is Central MN Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit housing organization working locally and in nearly 1,400 communities across the United States and in approximately 70 countries around the world. Habitat’s vision is of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Habitat works toward this vision by building and improving homes in partnership with individuals and families in need of a decent and affordable place to live. We Host a $7 Lunch each month at our dealership where our employees can come and get a healthy lunch. The proceeds from this lunch are donated to Local Habitat for humanity projects. Throughout the year we will find and create new ways to donate to this program. Not only do we encourage our employees to participate, but we also make the general public aware through our networking and advertising programs. We are excited to see what Miller Auto and Marine can do for this great organization. We intend on participating in the Build again this summer!
