Packers women's food drive Sunday
The Packers Women's Association will hold its 18th annual food drive for Paul's Pantry prior to Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field. 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, which will be located throughout the Lambeau Field parking lot. Volunteers from Paul's Pantry will be assisting with the collection.
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 Fan Assistance in section 109.
Last year's effort collected more than $12,000 and 32,400 food items.
