Packers Women's Association To Hold 21st Food Drive Sunday
posted 10/08/2007
The Packers Women's Association is teaming up with Festival Foods for the 21st Annual Food Drive for Paul's Pantry prior to Sunday's game against the Washington Redskins at Lambeau Field. This year's effort is headed by co-chairwomen Dr. Kaye Cole and Laura Hawk.
PWA members, who will be wearing their husband's or significant other's jersey or PWA jerseys, will collect non-perishable food items and cash donations in the stadium parking lot and at the gates prior to kickoff. Food items can be placed in bins located throughout the Lambeau Field parking lot. Volunteers from Paul's Pantry will be assisting with the collection and Festival Food's 'Big Carts' will be on site to promote the cause, too.
As an added incentive to donate to the food drive, fans have an opportunity to win Packers autographed items. For every $5 donation or five non-perishable food items contributed, a fan will receive a ticket stub. The winning ticket numbers will be drawn and announced on the matrix board during the game. Fans with the winning ticket stubs can pick up their item at the Fan Assistance booth at section 109 in the stadium's main concourse.
Last year's effort collected more than $13,400 and 22,400 food items. Overall, in the previous 20 years of conducting the food drive, the PWA has collected nearly 566,400 non-perishable food items and more than $190,000 for Paul's Pantry.
Also, beginning Sunday and continuing through Tuesday, Oct. 16, Green Bay and De Pere Festival Foods locations will have bins in their stores to collect food for the cause. Festival Foods will be sending donations to Paul's Pantry. |
