VIDEO: Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill Gives Out Chick-fil-A to Healthcare Workers in Kansas City
By Brady Williams
With the COVID-19 pandemic still affecting everyone in the nation, many athletes are using their wealth to make a difference. Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is the latest player to give back to his community. In a video he posted to his foundation's YouTube channel, he showed how he paid for Chick-fil-A for the first responders and healthcare workers of Saint Luke's Hospital in Kansas City.
"I feel like the time we’re living in now, a lot of people are down; a lot of people are sad," Hill said of his actions. "I’m always trying to bring a smile to someone’s face."
Hill served 100 workers food, and he did so with the help of Fuel Cafe, a local business in the Kansas City area.
One of my students just shared this with me from his mom who works at Saint Luke's Hospital: Tyreek Hill stopping by to feed the health care workers there (his mom included)! Pretty awesome stuff @Chiefs! pic.twitter.com/SwnNIXe8aH

The workers were all surprised by his appearance, and without any memorabilia handy, one nurse asked Hill to sign her mask. He was more than happy to oblige. The video showed an all-around positive experience for the people who are getting us all through a difficult time.
