That mission was in full force on Wednesday afternoon, as Chiefs Chairman & CEO Clark Hunt, President Mark Donovan, General Manager Brett Veach and a handful of the Chiefs’ linebackers helped load food onto trucks bound for more than eighty relief organizations scattered throughout the metro, from food pantries to church ministries.

The food, which was donated by Tyson, will provide 25,000 meals to those in need.

“I want to complement our players who do such a great job of getting out in the community and making a difference, and this Lift Up America food event is just an example of that,” Hunt said. “We have our linebackers here today helping load pallets of food from Tyson into these agencies’ trucks, and that food will be distributed to people in need throughout the holidays.”
