The room was simple enough.
There was a long table centered in the middle, some large shelves lining the wall and a box of produce just outside the door – all tucked away in a corner of Hillside Christian Church.
Families began to file in, one-by-one, with the intent of grabbing some food for the week.
But on this particular Monday afternoon at the Hope WRX Food Pantry, there was a particularly speedy volunteer tasked with bagging the groceries.
It was wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and just a day removed from another Kansas City Chiefs’ victory, the AFC’s second-leading receiver chose to spend his day off from practice with those struggling to make ends meet.
“I could come out here every day and do this,” Hill said. “It means a lot to me to give back because I grew up in a small town and I was kind of poor, so I know what it’s like to live with no lights and with no food. I don’t want anybody to ever have to go through that – nobody – and especially not a kid.”
