Giving Back
Empowering our Kansas City communities
Giving back is core to Central Bank of Kansas City’s mission. As a seven-decade member of the community, it’s just one of the many ways we invest in Kansas City. Through outreach efforts, our team makes personal connections with our those in need in the KC area. We believe that investing in strong communities takes one-on-one, person-to-person action. It also takes strategy, and collaboration with our neighbors. Central Bank Kansas City is proud to be involved with multiple organizations and councils that improve life for many in our hometown.
Memorable Projects
One of our first projects was collecting produce and making fruit baskets for the DUMAS Center, a long term care facility on Benton Boulevard—bringing a bit of sunshine to their senior residents.

During the holiday season, we get busy. Some of our favorite holiday memories are adopting families from area non-profits like Operation Breakthrough, Don Bosco Centers, The Children's Place and Catholic Charities. Our cb staff love picking out gifts for the whole family - clothing and toys to brighten their holidays.
Another favorite community activity for Central Bank of KC is collecting items for area non-profits; collecting canned goods for Harvesters, collecting school supplies for Emmanuel Family and Child Development Center, collecting snacks for Garfield Elementary or clothing drives for area shelters. One year, our employees raised money for new books for the two Lead to Read classes at Wendell-Phillips Elementary School.
Commitments to Our Communities

Supporting Our Futures

The reading mentors provide more than 14,000 hours of one-to-one reading support to nearly 1,100 students every school year. Our staff here at cbkc has been volunteering with Lead to Read for the last 11 years. To learn more about Lead to Read.
Every year, we support the Back to School event at the Westside CAN center, where children in need can receive donated school supplies so they can start off the school year prepared and confident! This is a favorite event of ours each August.
