NOVEMBER 17, 2025 MILWAUKEE CBS 58, Hunger Task Force, and Brewers Community Foundation™ are teaming up to collect frozen turkeys and other food items at the Drive-Thru Food Drive.

On November 21, cars will be directed to pull through the American Family Field™ parking lot “drive-thru,” next to Helfaer Field, while volunteers accept food donations. The event takes place starting at 5 a.m. and goes until 5 p.m.

CBS 58 and Telemundo Wisconsin will broadcast LIVE from the Drive-Thru Food Drive throughout the day, and visitors will be able to meet Bernie Brewer™, the beloved Famous Racing Sausages® and their favorite CBS 58 personalities. Donors will receive a Brewers ticket voucher for two free Loge Level tickets to select 2026 Brewers games, a gift bag from station partners, and the first 100 donors to contribute three or more frozen turkeys will receive a Brewers Tumbler Cup.

“With so much recent attention on food insecurity, the Drive-Thru Food Drive could not come at a more crucial time,” says Anne Brown, VP and General Manager of CBS 58 and Telemundo Wisconsin. “We hope to raise more food than ever this year, to help bring some relief to our hometown neighbors.”

“Hunger Task Force is serving over 50,000 people each month and the need continues to grow,” says Matt King, Chief Executive Officer of Hunger Task Force. “We’re grateful for this partnership with Brewers Community Foundation and CBS 58 and further appreciate the community’s support so that local children, families and seniors can have the dignity of a holiday meal and healthy food for their families.”

“Hunger Task Force continues to be a vital lifeline for so many in our community,” says Cecelia Gore, Executive Director of Brewers Community Foundation. “Our partnership with Hunger Task Force and CBS 58 allows us to make a meaningful impact, especially during the holiday season when support and nourishment are needed most.”

The annual Drive-Thru Food Drive helps feed seniors, families and children during the Thanksgiving holiday. Since the inception of the event, the Milwaukee community has donated nearly 1 million pounds of food and thousands of turkeys to those in need. More info can be found at cbs58.com.
