UMB Financial Corporation (Nasdaq:UMBF) delivered 2,321 pounds of
food today to Harvesters -- Community Food Network. The total
collection is equivalent to 1,785 meals that will be made available
to feed hungry people in the Kansas City community. Last month, in
recognition of National Hunger Awareness Day, 41 UMB banking
centers in the Kansas City metropolitan area served as collection
locations for Harvesters. For nearly a century UMB has utilized
associate volunteerism and corporate philanthropy as means for
community partnerships like this one. "We appreciate the support
and commitment from UMB to help with the National Hunger Awareness
Day food drive," said Harvesters Executive Director Karen Haren.
"Harvesters would not be able to accomplish all that we do without
the assistance of local companies like UMB Bank." "UMB is pleased
to help make a difference in feeding the hungry children and
families in our community," said Vanessa Vaughn, UMB Community
Relations Specialist. "We are hopeful this contribution and other
UMB community partnerships will advance the well-being of community
