About Us

At the HOFFA Foundation, we understand recovery is about progression, not perfection. That's why we're dedicated to providing resources, and more importantly, hope, to those struggling with addictions and their families.

Established in 2019 in memory of Jimmy Zumbrun, who lost his battle with addiction in the fall of 2019, the HOFFA Foundation is a family-based, nonprofit organization. Like so many families, we lost someone who was loved deeply by many and who is missed beyond measure.

The name HOFFA? Well, if you knew Jimmy, you know he had a nickname for everyone, and his was HOFFA. So, it didn't take us long to know what this foundation had to be called and create a fitting acronym: Healing. Opportunity. Free from Addiction.

This foundation allows us to channel our love and grief into purposeful work that we hope will promote positive change in the epidemic impacting so many individuals and families.

What We've Built

Since our founding, we've grown from a dream into a network of real, life-changing services:

In July 2021, we opened the HOFFA House — a recovery residence for men in Carroll County, Maryland. This safe, supportive home gives men in recovery a stable foundation as they rebuild their lives.

We also launched the HOFFA Helpline: (866) 577-9810, staffed by three full-time employees ready to connect individuals struggling with addiction — anywhere in Maryland — with the resources they need. Whether someone is looking for treatment options, support services, or just needs to talk, our team is here.

One of the biggest barriers to getting help is simply getting there. That's why, through the helpline, we offer HOFFA Transportation Services — and over the last three years, we have provided more than 10,000 FREE rides to individuals throughout Maryland, meeting people right where they are when they're ready to take that first step.

How We're Funded

We began funding our mission by selling "Jimmy's Blend" (Seattle, WA) and "Jimmy's Hometown Blend" (Westminster, MD) coffee, but through the support of our community, like-minded organizations, friends, and family, we have expanded our fundraising to include several special events and activities — the HOFFA Classic being our latest.

Now, Jimmy wasn't a golfer, but he never passed up an opportunity to have fun and spend time with family and friends. Never. Over our first five HOFFA Classic events, we have raised enough money to help many residents who have come through the HOFFA House get back on their feet and become productive members of society again. As we tee up our sixth year, we're proud of what this event has grown into — not only something Jimmy would be proud of, but a fun, unique experience that makes a real difference in people's lives.

We hope you'll join us!
