Travis Kelce continues to help his community in any way he can.

On the Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, McAfee revealed that Kelce donated $3.3 million to transform a house into a living facility for homeless people. He called the tight end a "good person, good human."

It is reportedly a 6,500-square-foot property that includes six bedrooms and five bathrooms.

And McAfee chose to highlight this for one very specific reason. 

"Obviously a lot of negativity gets covered around the NFL and around professional athletics because negativity will hog some publicity. And obviously the conversation around Travis Kelce is that he's a GOAT at the tight end position. Obviously very successful at football. But there are people who just naturally hate him because he's very popular, very famous, especially now because he's dating the most and famous person in the world in Taylor Swift," McAfee explained. 

"So him giving back and making the world a better place, I think should be chatted about. And he doesn't have to do this. There's a lot of people that have a lot of money that don't give back," he added. "With that, I say, 'Atta baby Trav.'"

Kelce has always aimed to give back since he joined the league. 

He started his Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation, which "empowers disadvantaged youth to achieve success by providing resources and support to their communities and cultivating their talent in the areas of education, business, athletics, STEM, and the arts."

"Eighty-Seven and Running Foundation seeks to change the outcomes of underserved youth in communities across the U.S. by creating access to opportunities, enrichment, and advancement," the website stated

Kansas City is lucky to have him.
