Hunger Task Force Celebrates Touchdowns for Hunger Success with Sargento and Packers Wide Receiver Matthew Golden

Hunger Task Force was proud to welcome partners from the Green Bay Packers and Sargento Foods to celebrate another impactful season of Touchdowns for Hunger™. Now in its 23rd year, the long-standing partnership continues to deliver meaningful support for hunger relief across Wisconsin.

Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden joined Sargento Chairman & CEO Louie Gentine at our headquarters in West Milwaukee to present this year’s Touchdowns for Hunger donation to Hunger Task Force. The donation is part of Sargento’s ongoing commitment to give $2,000 for every Packers touchdown scored during the regular season, a contribution shared between Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee and Paul’s Pantry in Green Bay. With 34 touchdowns scored so far this season, the support from Sargento and the Packers is making a substantial difference for families who rely on healthy, free and local food.

During the event, Golden, Gentine and Hunger Task Force CEO Matt King thanked staff and volunteers for their dedication, taking time to connect, take photos and highlight the importance of community partnerships in the fight against hunger.

Since its launch in 2003, Touchdowns for Hunger has generated more than $1.9 million, providing over one million meals to households across Wisconsin. This year’s check presentation reaffirmed the power of collaboration and how a simple touchdown can fuel real change for our neighbors.

We’re deeply grateful to Sargento and the Green Bay Packers for their continued partnership and steadfast commitment to feeding local families.
