Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill challenges teammates to donate meals during COVID-19 pandemic

As the world continues to deal with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that has forced millions into social distancing. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is issuing a challenge to his teammates to help those in need because of the virus.

Hill tweeted from his personal Twitter account a partnership with Harvesters to donate meals to families. The virus has caused many businesses and schools that regularly offer free meals to shut down operations temporarily. The Pro Bowl receiver is personally donating 6,000 meals to the greater Kansas City community via the Tyreek Hill Foundation.

Hill tagged teammates Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Demarcus Robinson, Chris Jones, Gehrig Dieter, Tyrann Mathieu, and Frank Clark in his tweet announcing his donation. He challenged each of them to match or exceed his donation of meals.

On the first day of the legal tampering period ahead of NFL free agency, Hill is reminding fans and players around the league that there are significant issues facing the world outside of football. Sports may be on hiatus and even as the players retreat from the public eye, they have the power to do good during these trying times.
