Donna Kelce, mom of popular NFL stars Jason and Travis Kelce, is known for her incredible support for her sons. But her charitable efforts are just as commendable as her constant support for her sons. A few years back, Donna joined forces with Chiefs HC Andy Reid's wife Tammy Reid, to unwrap a new giving machine amid Chiefs and Philly's incredible Nov. 2023 faceoff.  The effort was also supported by Chiefs TE Travis Kelce as he urged fans to make a contribution in a viral video.

On Nov. 13, Tammy Reid and Tavia Hunt announced in an Instagram Reel that Giving Machines will be located inside the Grand Hall in Union Station beginning Nov. 21

Clark said, “Just look for Big Red. I mean, for those big red vending machines full of items that go directly to those in need.”

Donna Kelce came to Kansas City to watch her sons play football Monday night. But the special event kept her here a little longer this Thanksgiving week.

Mama Kelce was in the crowd at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium when the Eagles defeated the Chiefs. 

Just one day after the game, Donna Kelce, mother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, joined the unveiling of the 2023 Giving Machines in Kansas City on Tuesday, Nov. 21 at 5:30 p.m. as a special guest.

Much different from the traditional one, these Giving Machines do not dispense products for buyers to take home. But visitors choose an item or service to donate toward, with options that include meals, school supplies, shoes for children, eye exams and toys.

 Various local groups benefited including Foster Adopt Connect, Kansas City Hospice & Palliative Care, reStart, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City, the Mayor's Office, and more.

The effort was far bigger than one city. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints facilitated the Light the World campaign, and 61 cities across seven countries hosted machines that season.

Travis Kelce Urged Fans To Make An Impact

While Travis Kelce could not attend the launch, he still showed up in a video. He recorded a short promotional video for the Giving Machines Kansas City Instagram account in November 2023.

In the post, the pro TE said, "Check out the Giving Machine. It's a big red box. You cannot miss it. Make sure you take the family down there and make a donation. 

Kelce further added, “Make someone else's Christmas or holidays that much better. And, as always, go Chiefs, baby.”

Donna Kelce's presence doesn't just help the people in need. But it also shows the generous side and incredible commitment to the community.
