Last season, the Packers score 53 touchdowns, resulting in $106,000 in donations. Since launching in 2003, the program has raised more than $1.9 million, helping provide over one million means to Wisconsin families.
“As a family-owner company, we understand the importance of giving back to our community,” said Sargento Chairman and CEO Louie Gentine. “Touchdowns for Hunger is our way to raise awareness of food insecurity in our home state while at the same time, raising funds for two great non-profit organizations rooting for our home team.”
