Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes’ 1587 Prime Steakhouse Raises Over $550,000 — with an Additional $100,000 Donation from Taylor Swift — to Provide Free SNAP Breakfasts as Benefits End Amid Government Shutdown

In a powerful act of unity and compassion, Kansas City Chiefs stars Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are stepping up to fight food insecurity as the federal government shutdown forces the suspension of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits beginning November 1.

Their upscale restaurant, 1587 Prime Steakhouse, has raised more than $550,000 to fund a community initiative offering free breakfasts to families who depend on SNAP benefits. In a heartwarming show of solidarity, Taylor Swift contributed an additional $100,000, bringing the total to $650,000 in support of families struggling to make ends meet.

The initiative will provide thousands of free breakfast meals across Kansas City and surrounding communities, ensuring that children and families affected by the government shutdown have access to nutritious food while federal support remains frozen.

Speaking about the effort, Kelce shared a message that resonated deeply with many:

“I hope people take away that when the system fails us, it’s up to one another to make sure one another is taken care of.”

Mahomes echoed those sentiments, emphasizing community responsibility:

“This isn’t just about food — it’s about reminding people that they’re not alone. We’ve got each other’s backs.”

Swift’s $100,000 donation came just hours after the 1587 Prime team announced the fundraiser, reflecting her continued commitment to social causes and support for Kelce and Mahomes’ hometown efforts.

As the shutdown continues to strain millions of American families, 1587 Prime Steakhouse’s initiative stands as a reminder that acts of kindness — both big and small — can make a profound difference when the system falters.

“This is what community looks like,” Kelce added. “We can’t fix everything, but we can make sure no one in our neighborhood goes hungry.”

With donations still pouring in, the restaurant plans to expand the program to include weekend meal boxes and family grocery kits if the shutdown persists into mid-November.
