For the Millan Foundation, Connection is the bridge. It’s the thread that unites all our efforts, linking people, organizations, and communities to multiply our reach and deepen our impact.
Outreach is at the core of the Millan Foundation’s mission, driving us to step in where needs are greatest. Through hands-on support, resources, and programs, we extend a helping hand to individuals, families, and communities, locally and globally, empowering them to overcome obstacles and thrive.
Community is at the heart of the Millan Foundation, reflecting both the people we serve and the relationships we build to create lasting impact. It goes beyond geography, it’s about belonging, support, and shared responsibility. For us, Community means investing in the people and places we call home, locally and abroad, by strengthening cities and regions, collaborating with nonprofits, businesses, and individuals, and providing tools and opportunities for people to thrive, not just offering aid.
Faith is the cornerstone of our foundation, guiding every action and partnership with purpose. Our unwavering faith in the Lord drives us to extend compassion, generosity, and support to those in need, with a steadfast commitment to uplifting the lives of others.
Seat at the Table - supporting Loaves & Fishes to provide meals daily to individuals and families in need.
Loaves & Fishes serves over 200 meals daily. Local grocery stores, restaurants, and farmers make it possible for Loaves & Fishes to keep our kitchen full and our tables open. To help donors connect their gifts with real impact, we’ve set a reporting value of $3 per meal—a simple way to measure how contributions turn into hot meals for neighbors who need them most. This campaign will allow donors to sponsor individual meals, seats, or entire tables, giving the community a tangible way to contribute and make a difference.
Every gift keeps the kitchen full and the tables open.

At Emmanuel Haiti, their core mission revolves around transforming the lives of young men and women who have transitioned out of orphanages. They understand the stark reality that without support, 70% of these young individuals face a dire future on the streets or even death within three years of leaving the orphanage. To combat this, they have established safe, nurturing Boys and Girls Transition Homes. These homes are more than just a shelter; they are a foundation for a brighter future, offering these young people the opportunity to complete their education and acquire vital life skills, ultimately guiding them towards independence.
Their strategy is innovative and sustainable – creating businesses within the local economy of Jeremie, Haiti, that not only meet the existing demand for products and services but also provide valuable employment opportunities for the transition home residents. By investing in these young adults, teaching them trades, fostering entrepreneurship, and supporting their academic pursuits, 29:11 Jeremie is playing a pivotal role in building a vibrant local economy and, more importantly, giving these individuals hope and a future.
Drawing inspiration from Jeremiah 29:11, they believe in plans that prosper, not harm, providing hope and a future even in challenging environments. Their efforts aren't just about survival; they aim to empower, to create a self-sustaining cycle where today’s beneficiaries become tomorrow’s benefactors. The vision is clear - to see a generation of young men and women from Jeremie, Haiti, rise above adversity, equipped with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities to make a lasting impact on their community and beyond.

Lillie Millan, co-owner of Millan Enterprises, has been at Leo’s side since the company’s inception in 1999. She got her start in Clarksville in 1995 after leaving her hometown of Orange County, California to follow her husband here to Fort Campbell. Her involvement in the company had always been in the accounting department, then molded into heading up design, and finally taking a step up as Co-Chief Member in order to further support the company’s mission.
Her attention to detail was crucial for her time heading the accounting department. As the team grew, so did her interest in interior design. She became passionate about setting the company’s projects at a higher standard than the rest. Again, as the company grew and its mission expanded, her role was best suited officially as Co-Chief Member.
