For each sack made across the NFL, Chunky®
will make a donation that will help provide meals to families in
need.
CAMDEN,
N.J., Sept. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today,
Campbell's® Chunky® announced the
third annual Chunky Sacks Hunger™ initiative – a program
that partners with NFL teams and Feeding America® to support people
and families facing hunger across the country. During the 2024-25
regular season, Chunky will donate 1,000 meals* to Feeding
America for every sack made across the NFL, connecting what happens
on the field with actions that benefit communities off the field.
This year, fans can follow the program's progress with a national
sack counter on their site.
"Chunky and the NFL have been fighting hunger for over 25 years,
and we're proud to continue to find ways to make a positive impact
in communities across the league," said Peter Herron, Marketing Director for
Campbell's Chunky Soup.
"Now in its third year, Chunky Sacks Hunger is expanding what was a
regional initiative to be a league-wide program."
To bring the program to life, Chunky is thrilled to
partner with new and returning NFL players on and off the field.
New York Giants Defensive Lineman, Dexter
Lawrence, will lead this group as the national spokesperson
for 2024.
"I know that making sacks on the field helps my team, and it's
great to know it's also helping people in need," says Lawrence. "I
grew up watching football legends partner with Chunky, and I'm
thrilled to follow in their footsteps while giving back to
communities across the country."
The full lineup of teams and players involved for 2024-2025
are:
- Dexter Lawrence, Defensive
