Head shot of Kathy Gesswein

“I was very happy to give a donation for the purchase of food to show my gratitude to UMB teammates who are on the front lines. And to be able to do it and support small business owners made it extra important and special.

“It couldn't have been easier for me to do, and I want the essential workers and the small business owners to know that I am behind them 100 percent. Without their collective efforts, we would not be nearly as successful in fighting this invisible enemy.”

— Kathy Gesswein, human resources director, School of Dentistry
