Packers, Sargento Foods Continue ‘Touchdowns for Hunger’ During Playoffs for Wisconsin Hunger Relief

Following another successful regular season of Touchdowns for Hunger resulting in a donation of $88,000, Sargento will continue donating $2,000 for every Packers touchdown during the Packers postseason. The Packers ended the regular season with 44 touchdowns.

As the Official Cheese of the Green Bay Packers, Sargento donates $2,000 toward hunger relief in Wisconsin for every touchdown the Packers score during the regular season. These funds are shared by Paul’s Pantry in Green Bay and Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee who are on the front lines of hunger relief.

“‘Touchdowns for Hunger’ demonstrates our pride for the Packers and most importantly, our community,” said Sargento Chairman & CEO Louie Gentine. “We’re proud to continue our donation in the postseason and cheering for Packers touchdowns to help feed families across Wisconsin.”

Since it began in 2002, Touchdowns for Hunger has raised more than $1.95 million to help alleviate hunger in Wisconsin and has provided more than one million meals for those in need.
