Event
Kansas City Chiefs - Food Distribution
Tuesday, December 18, 2007

Description
It was the Kansas City Chiefs who hosted our first Lift Up America food distribution. Four years later it's still going strong as Lift Up America, the Chiefs, and Tyson Foods team up to fight hunger in the Kansas City area. Kansas City Chief players and volunteers will unload over 30,000 pounds of chicken and distribute it to local area relief agencies who will use it to bless many this holiday season. The food distribution begins at noon.
