The Kansas City Chiefs announced Sunday that they will match all player contributions to Harvesters and its network.
Together they will donate thousands of meals to local families in need.
Safety Tyrann Mathieu announced Friday that he’s donating 30,000 meals to Harvesters Community Food Network in Kansas City.
Based in Kansas City, Harvesters is a regional food bank that serves a 26-county area covering NW Missouri and NE Kansas. The nonprofit provides food and household goods to hundreds of other nonprofits.
His massive donation stems from a challenge wide receiver Tyreek Hill made last Monday to his teammates.
Tight end Travis Kelce took it up a notch the next day and doubled the Cheetah’s donation.
“I got your 6k and will raise you another 6k meals,” Kelce tweeted in response to Hill’s challenge.
Then quarterback Patrick Mahomes went big like “Showtime” always does and announced that he’s donating 15,000 meals to Harvesters.
His foundation, “15 and the Mahomies,” also plans to give $100,000 to Kansas City public school lunch programs and other local organizations that provide meals and household items for families in need.
Hall of Famer Will Shields also got in on the giving. Through their through their Will to Succeed Foundation, the former Chiefs star and his wife Senia donated 60,000 meals to Harvesters and another 36,000 to Jewish Family Services’ food pantries, a Harvesters partner.
