"The community has been a big part of everything that we do, and food insecurity is one of those key pillars that we want to support, as we feel like if we can give meals to those in need, it can help solve a lot of other issues," said Sargento CEO Louie Gentine.
So far, the Packers have scored 32 touchdowns this season. That equates to a donation of roughly $64,000. Since it started in 2002, Touchdowns for Hunger has raised more than $1.8 million.
