Hot breakfast meals to be provided to under-resourced communities via Operation Breakthrough
Kodiak, the breakfast company known for its high-protein, whole grain breakfast products, and Travis Kelce, star tight-end of the Kansas City Chiefs and investor in the Kodiak brand have come together to donate 25,000 meals to the children of Kansas City. Through Operation Breakthrough, an afterschool program for under-resourced youth, hundreds of families will receive hot breakfasts, provided by Kodiak and Travis, according to a release.
“Joining forces with my friends over at Kodiak to fuel the Operation Breakthrough families is a total privilege. Alongside Kodiak, a brand I love, we will be making a meaningful difference in the day-to-day life of hundreds of Kansas City kids, and I couldn’t be more excited to make this happen,” shared Travis.
Travis Kelce invested in Kodiak in 2022. The tight end is not only a fan of the products, but also resonates with Kodiak’s mission to fuel an active lifestyle and inspire more nutritious eating. Together, both Kelce and Kodiak are committed to getting kids up and outside to pursue adventure, starting with a hearty breakfast packed with protein and 100% whole grains.
The release went on to say, “We are thrilled to work with Travis and an organization that is near and dear to his heart,” said Val Oswalt, CEO of Kodiak. “By providing nutritious breakfasts we are giving kids what they need to be set up for success, and ultimately pave the way for healthier futures.”
Operation Breakthrough is a nationally accredited, not-for-profit corporation that acts as a resource for parents in Kansas City, offering quality childcare, educational after-school programs, health services and more to those in need. Travis Kelce has worked closely with Operation Break on initiatives such as the creation of the Ignition Lab powered by Eighty-Seven & Running.
The children of Operation Breakthrough will receive meals and products such as Kodiak’s classic Power Cakes, a range of both Oatmeal and Flapjack Power Cups, Breakfast and Granola Bars and more, all made with 100% whole grains and packed with protein.
