The Chiefs Women’s Organization (CWO) has been busy this season visiting various agencies throughout the metro. Earlier this week, a group of over a dozen CWO members volunteered at Operation Breakthrough. While there, the CWO’s responsibilities included reading books, playing games, and making crafts with the children. A highlight of the CWO’s outreach schedule each year, this visit once again provided plenty of interaction between the center’s youth and the CWO.

“The Chiefs have always been such a big supporter of Operation Breakthrough,” said Kim Davis, Director of Social Services for the center. “Throughout the years there have been so many members of the Chiefs that have volunteered their time here and supported us financially. The kids just seem to light up when the CWO comes for a visit.”

The CWO is an organization comprised of wives, fiancées, and significant others of Chiefs players, coaches and football support staff members. The mission of the organization is to build goodwill in the Kansas City community through active volunteer participation.

“This is always a special stop for the CWO,” noted Carmen Thum. “We all love coming here to Operation Breakthrough and spending time with these kids. Honestly, I think we as a group get more joy from this visit than they do.”

The mission of Operation Breakthrough is to help children who are living in poverty develop to their fullest potential by providing them a safe, loving and educational environment. Operation Breakthrough also strives to support and empower the children’s families through advocacy, referral services and emergency aid.
