No mask, no cape, just a badge that shines bright when coming to the rescue. Sgt. David Miller bears the title of hero in such a humble way. He’s dedicated his life to serving the New Caney/Porter community, both in his 30-year law enforcement career and through his work with the Sharing is Caring food drive.
Growing up in a simpler time, Sgt. Miller remembers a tight-knit community where neighbors helped one another, and local businesses thrived. He believes that the community is an extension of family, and a small act of kindness is worth more than the grandest intentions. Sgt. Miller’s commitment to service is rooted in his desire to make a positive impact.
Throughout his tenure, Sgt. Miller has been invited into homes where poverty is glaringly obvious… The first indication is always empty pantries. Wearing heavy on his heart, Sgt. Miller began a search for ways to use his position to help those in need and found Mission Northeast. They’ve partnered together multiple times in the past, and this year they celebrate 8 years of consistent support with the Sharing is Caring food drive. Through gathering donations and partnerships with various first responder agencies, alumni, and organizations, volunteers from all walks of life come together as agents of change.
Donations begin each October to prepare for the holiday season, a time when families are together, and children are out of school. The annual Sharing is Caring drive helps ensure that Mission Northeast can provide meals throughout the day.
This holiday season, as you plan family gatherings, consider volunteering or donating. Every act of kindness, no matter how big or small, can make a profound impact on hundreds within our community. Sgt. David Miller is just one example of that!
