KANSAS CITY, Kansas (KMBC) — Several Kansas City families will have an easier Thanksgiving this year thanks to Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith, who teamed up with Giving Hope KC on Thursday night to hand out hundreds of free holiday meals.
For the third straight year, Smith greeted families, loaded bags with food and wished residents a happy holiday as they drove through for assistance.
“Anytime I can give back to KC, you know this community has given so much to me. I want to do it,” Smith said.
KC Wolf, Chiefs cheerleaders and volunteers joined in, helping distribute turkeys and everything needed for a full Thanksgiving spread.
“It’s awesome to help people out. It’s touching because you don’t know what people are going through, and bringing yourself down to help other people in their time of need is important,” Smith said.
