Magnifi Financial went above and beyond to support Hops for Hunger this year! They hosted a food drive where they gave away Hops tickets in return for donations and collected 388 pounds!

Not to mention, they are a 50th Anniversary sponsor and sent a volunteer group to help set up.

They consistently show up for SACA, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you Magnifi!
