Touchdown Value Will Double For Wisconsin Hunger Task Force And Paul's Pantry

The Green Bay Packers and Sargento, who thus far this season have raised $67,500 for the "Touchdowns for Charity" program, are raising the stakes for the playoffs by doubling the contribution for each touchdown.

The program benefits the Wisconsin Hunger Task Force in Milwaukee County and Paul's Pantry in Green Bay.

For each touchdown scored against the Arizona Cardinals, Sargento will donate $2,000 to the Hunger Task Force (an increase from $1,000), and additionally donate $1,000 to Paul's Pantry for every touchdown scored by the team's wide receivers and tight ends (an increase from $500).

Since partnering six years ago, Sargento - the official cheese of the Green Bay Packers and Lambeau Field - has contributed more than $490,000 to Wisconsin food charities such as the Hunger Task Force and Paul's Pantry.
