Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick Join Sargento and Hunger Task Force to Fight Summer Hunger in the Community
Players and Executive Leadership Will Join the Sargento Summer Sizzle to Pass Out Free Meals to Community Youth and Provide an Afternoon of Tailgate Fun
MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers and Sargento are proud to team up with Hunger Task Force for Summer Sizzle, a part of the Sargento Double Helping for Hunger campaign, on Friday, July 26 at noon. Brewers players Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick will welcome Milwaukee youth as they receive a free, nutritious summer meal prepared by Centers for Independence. In addition to receiving a free meal, the Brewers Street Team will be onsite to coordinate tailgate games, kickball, face painting and more. Children will also receive a complimentary baseball glove to take home.
Joining the players will be Sargento Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Louie Gentine; Hunger Task Force Chief Executive Officer Matt King; and Brewers President – Business Operations Rick Schlesinger and EVP & Chief Commercial Officer Jason Hartlund.
The Summer Food Service Program ensures that children continue to receive nutritious meals when school is not in session. Hunger Task Force is an organizer of the program and connects thousands of children 18 and under with meals across Milwaukee County. This summer, there are 170 sites across Milwaukee County. Through this city-wide collaboration, Hunger Task Force partners will serve more than 600,000 free meals to Milwaukee kids.
As a family-owned company and the Official Cheese of the Milwaukee Brewers, Sargento roots for the home team and local communities. With the Sargento Double Helping for Hunger campaign, Sargento donates $200 to Hunger Task Force for every double hit by the Brewers during the 2024 season. Since the program began in 2018, Sargento has donated $247,400 to feed families in need. Sargento is proud to turn doubles into dollars to raise awareness of the importance of fighting hunger.
