Just days before the Kansas City Chiefs hit the gridiron, a special plan is unfolding. A local organization is stepping up to support them for a mission. Goodwill of Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas has joined forces with the 2× Super Bowl champion Chiefs for the 2023 season kickoff. Goodwill’s mission is all about giving back.

Lynn Harris, the General Manager at the Goodwill on North Oak in Kansas City, initiated this plan last year. A staggering 88 cents of every dollar they make goes towards education, knowledge, and providing employment opportunities. What’s truly heartwarming is that all their services are entirely free.

Turning pennies into progress

What makes this even more remarkable is the two-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs, has contributed items to the store. They’re selling all Chiefs gear, from shirts to towels to jerseys and even luggage. These items were donated over the past year, and now they’re up for sale. The proceeds from this gear sale will help fund a program that focuses on job assistance, placement, and career training to prepare people for the workforce.

Lynn Harris shared, that every dollar raised goes towards the mission of Goodwill Industries, and said, “When everybody was out here waiting, we had at least 40 people waiting at 10 o’clock, and when they’re coming in, they were all hooping and hollering ‘Go Chiefs!’ It was amazing.” In addition to their fantastic efforts, Goodwill of Western Missouri and Eastern Kansas are hosting the 2023 Power of Work Awards breakfast on September 8, 2023.

The coming football fever is high

The Chiefs are set to kick off their 2023 season on Thursday, September 7, facing off against the Detroit Lions. This exciting matchup will happen at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and marks the first game of the season for both teams. But the excitement doesn’t stop there.

The Chiefs have a packed schedule with six prime-time games in the 2023 season, including two appearances on Sunday Night Football. They’ll be going head-to-head with seven playoff teams from 2022 during their regular season, and the combined 2022 record of their home and away opponents is an impressive 147-140-0 (.512). Adding to the intrigue, the Chiefs are also taking their talents overseas.

On November 5, they’ll clash with the Miami Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany, at Frankfurt Stadium. Then, they’ll return home for consecutive games at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, including a Thursday Night Football showdown against the Denver Broncos on October 12.

As the Chiefs prepare to defend their Super Bowl LVII championship, the football fever in Kansas City is heating up, and fans are eagerly counting down the days until kickoff.
