On this Red Friday, the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) announced that Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Nick Bolton was named Week 10 Community MVP.
According to the post, the Bolton Empowerment Foundation
partnered with Harvesters and packed 700 bags of kid-friendly food to aid Kansas City students facing food insecurity this week. The “BackSnacks” are meant to last throughout the school year, “ensuring students have access to food over the weekends.”
This is what Bolton had to say about this week’s action.
“Packing BackSnack bags with our volunteers and partners reminded me just how much we can accomplish when we unite around a shared purpose,” Bolton said. “I’m proud of what the Bolton Empowerment Foundation is building in Kansas City. We’re just getting started!” Having experienced food insecurity himself, Bolton understands the importance of ensuring all children have access to nutritious meals outside of school.
In honor of Bolton earning the recognition, the NFLPA is donating $10,000 to Bolton’s foundation. Click here to learn more about how to help Bolton’s charitable efforts.
