Packers fans attending this Sunday's contest against the Carolina Panthers will have the opportunity to give back to the community by participating in the 28th annual Packers Women's Association Food Drive.
The drive will take place prior to kickoff, and is coordinated in partnership with Paul's Pantry. PWA members and Paul's Pantry volunteers will collect non-perishable food items and cash donations in the stadium parking lot and at the gates. Each PWA member will be wearing a PWA jersey or button. Food items can be placed in bins located throughout the Lambeau Field parking lot.
As an added incentive to donate to the 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 scoreboard during the game. Fans with the winning ticket stubs can pick up their item at the guest services desk in the Lambeau Field Atrium.
Two alumni are scheduled to make appearances throughout the weekend at various locations. Jerry Kramer and Fuzzy Thurston will be taking part in fan activities at the Packers Pro Shop, Tundra Tailgate Zone and Legends Club leading up to kickoff.
