Packers For The Hungry - 6
by J.R. Absher
There may be some argument among National Football League faithful, but probably no pro football fan base includes more hunters and shooters than the Green Bay Packers. Where else but Lambeau Field can as much camouflage and blaze orange garb be seen in the stadium on a Sunday afternoon?
This week the Packers announced a “Hunting Down Hunger” campaign to raise money, awareness and venison donations for state food pantries and relief efforts. The Packers are selling a special line of hunter orange and camouflage hats emblazoned with the team’s trademark “G.” Five dollars from the sale of each hat will be contributed to state food pantries and other hunger relief efforts. In addition, Cheesehead hunters will again giving their excess and unwanted deer to the Wisconsin Deer Donation program, which has provided more than 3.1 million pounds of ground venison for needy state residents. Packers “Hunting Down Hunger” gear may be seen at: www.packersproshop.com.

I applaud their efforts even though I am not a Packers fan. Anything which promotes the sport of hunting in a legal and ethical manner is a good thing.
Instead of retro-uniforms (like that fashion fail with the ugly socks the Broncos wore Sunday) maybe the Pack should wear camo jersey's one Sunday.
great idea seadog. more pro teams need to do this hunters feeding the hungry.more hunter friendly programs.to show that hunters care about the people less fortunate than us!
All I can say is "How about them Vikings?" :-)
Seriously though, as one who is originally from Minnesota, it's hard to find anything nice to say about the Packers, but this is an outstanding idea. Good for them and Go Green and G....
Well, let's not get too carried away. ;-)

Well that's cool, it could definitely catch on and hopefully it will
I commend them on their initiative and support for those less fortunate and for Hunting.
I wish more groups would follow suit.
I truly respect them for it.
