"When this showed up in my account, I decided the best thing to do with it was to send it to people who could really use it." Among the charities benefiting from Hoffmann's generosity are the Akron-Canton Regional Food Bank, United Way of Greater Stark County and Catholic Charities of Portage & Stark Counties. "I don't need a pat of the back, but I thought it'd be an encouragement to others who have trouble with food or paying rent or paying bills," he said.
