Mark Miller is giving back to an organization that helped him and his kids through tough times.

Miller says he's always been an artist. While a painting or sketch can be shoved away in a drawer, he prefers his work to last a little longer. The same you could say is true about his community service.

"If you pass the unemployment line, they're standing clear out to the road,” Mark Miller said.

The Tattoo Shop is actually donating every penny it makes Sunday to Church Community Services. Inside there's a food pantry, where every single day 150 families come to get food and other necessities.

"That is just so incredibly wonderful, I can't, I was almost in tears,” Dean Preheim-Bartel from Church Community Services said.

"And I said, 'Why would you do this?' And then he told us of his own story,” Preheim-Bartel added.

"Me personally, yeah I've used them before. It's been awhile, but yeah, I've most definitely used them,” Miller said.

If you think getting a tattoo is painful, ask those without a steady income and they say being hungry hurts even more.

"With the economy and everything, more people are in need than ever before and this just kind of helps that along," Don Azzarito said.

So now that Mark has bounced back into business, he hasn't forgotten who helped him get there.

"I personally will be able to sleep a lot better tonight knowing that there's a lot of families out there that have gas and have electric and have food on their table," Miller said.

"It makes me feel great to know I'll be helping the families of our community right here,” Miller added.

Church Community Services not only provides food for the needy, but helps with electric and gas bills. The organization also hosts training classes for people out of work.

The Tattoo Shop raised around $1500.
