Leftovers will be used for the Salt Lake Mission's Thanksgiving Day dinner for about 3,000 people.

The Millers, according to Utah Food Services chef/owner Robert Sullivan, donated about $5,000 worth of soda, coffee, space and volunteers.

"Without them, we wouldn't be able to do this. They have been most generous," Sullivan said. "It's become an event for the whole Miller organization to put back into the community as they do in so many ways."

While serving her portion of the meal at the end of the table, Miller teared up when asked what inspires her family and organization to do this every year.

"It's because we've been so blessed," she said, softly. "It's no fair keeping it to yourself; that's an easy answer. Where we can help we certainly want to."
