We are serving nearly 5,000 meals each month and more than 80 men in the overnight shelter every night” And, “we are humbled that Mr. Hoffman chose us to receive this gift, THANK YOU Mr. Hoffman and UMB-Bank!”

“I saw an opportunity to help an organization that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of many people,” Hoffman said. “My family has deep roots in Salina, and each member of UMB’s Board of Directors is focused on finding ways to give back to the community. We don’t just attend board meetings and provide guidance; we find ways to lend a hand.”
