Chiefs quarterback Mahomes builds tiny homes for veterans
Between his practice schedule and game time, Super Bowl-bound Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has little time to spare. When the 24-year-old phenom does have a minute to relax, he often steps out of the spotlight to lend a helping hand to his community.
Volunteering with Veterans Community Project, a Kansas City-based organization that supports homeless veterans, Mahomes has assisted in building tiny homes for struggling veterans in the greater Kansas City area for several years. One of the project’s initiatives is a community of 49 tiny homes built to get down-on-their-luck veterans off the streets. As this effort was getting off the ground, Mahomes helped build some of the first 13 homes finished in 2018, We Are the Mighty reported in Nov. 2018.
Along with these 240 to 350 square feet homes, incoming homeless veterans are provided with everything they need, from utilities to food. With this support, veterans are able to transition to permanent housing and begin to get back on their feet.
This volunteer work is separate from his personal charity ‘15 and the Mahomies.’ Established in 2019, Mahomes’ foundation focuses on aiding underprivileged children by supporting 15 different local youth charities. In November 2019, the Foundation hosted its first gala where 15 grants of $15,000 were donated to 15 Kansas City youth charities, a total of $225,000.
