Miller Alan Hill, beloved son of Rachel and Alan Hill and brother to favorite person, Kennedy, enjoyed a short, but mighty life. He loved his family, new people and places, but more than anything, Miller LOVED to eat. While he had only been eating solid foods about three months, mealtime gave him tremendous joy. Avocado was his first food, but soon became the only food he refused to eat (unless it was unknowingly mixed with sweet potato, his all-time favorite food).
We have partnered with NWA Food Bank for a local food drive. Help us carry on on Miller’s love affair with food, by donating food items to help those in need this holiday season. This is another way to honor Miller and our way of giving back to a community that continues to support us through the hardest days of our life, while keeping Miller’s memory close to our hearts. He would have turned one year old on Christmas day and would have enthusiastically approved of food-sharing during the holidays.
Our hope is to raise 10,000 meals through this drive in memory of Miller. Because of the overwhelming community support we have surpassed our inital goal of 10,000 meals a week early! Since our community has come out in support in such a big way we have increased our goal to 15,000 meals! Every dollar donated turns into 5 meals that go back into the Northwest Arkansas community, so every $1=5 meals in Miller's honor.
We had our eyes opened by the below statistics about the need for support in the NWA community.
