Packers invite Wisconsin schools to apply for ‘Taste of the Draft’ nutrition grants – Clone
GREEN BAY, Wis. (WBAY) – As part of the first-ever philanthropic culinary ‘Taste of the Draft’ event, held in conjunction with the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin schools are invited to apply for a Taste of the Draft School Nutrition Grant.
The grants are aimed at enhancing student access to nutritious school meals, which include milk, fruit, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein. The grants will provide meal distribution equipment for up to 90 schools across the state, in recognition of the 90th NFL Draft.
Recipient schools will have the opportunity to choose from three specialized equipment packages designed to meet their unique needs, ensuring that students have increased access to healthy meals throughout the school day.
Schools are encouraged to apply now through March 4 at tasteofdraft.genyouthnow.org.
Set for the eve of NFL Draft, Wednesday, April 23, at Schreiber Foods headquarters in downtown Green Bay, Taste of the Draft will showcase an extraordinary blend of Wisconsin cuisine, culinary traditions and supper club culture.
Net proceeds raised through Taste of the Draft will benefit national nonprofit GENYOUth’s efforts to tackle student hunger in Wisconsin in collaboration with the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin. Nearly half of Wisconsin students qualify for free or reduced priced school meals based on household income, and 1 in 6 Wisconsin children lives in food insecurity.
Taste of the Draft 2025 is the first event of its kind in conjunction with the Draft, modeled after the popular Taste of the NFL event held each year during Super Bowl weekend. To learn more about Taste of the Draft, please visit tasteofthenfl.com/taste-of-the-draft-2025.

Showers Return to Southern Wisconsin for Father’s Day
- Showers will be most likely for areas along and south of the I-94 corridor
- Dry and pleasant conditions for Monday and Tuesday
- Showers and thunderstorms will return Tuesday night and into the day Wednesday
MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) – We are starting the day with some sunshine, but high-level clouds will continue to move in out ahead of a weather system to the southwest. This area of low pressure will move eastward across Illinois and Indiana today, bringing an increase in cloud cover as well as the chance for rain in southern Wisconsin. There is still some uncertainty with exactly how far north the rain will extend, but there is a higher confidence in the presence and coverage of showers along and south of the I-94 corridor this afternoon and evening. Activity will likely be much more hit-or-miss in areas farther north, with some spots potentially not seeing any rain at all.
The cloud cover and rain combined will work to limit temperatures today, with highs only ranging from the upper 60s (in southern Wisconsin) to the low 70s (further north where the sun may linger longer, and it will be drier). We are not expecting a heavy rain, nor are we expecting storms. In areas closer to the state line, rainfall accumulations may be around a half inch. Tonight, rain will end as the system moves east.
What’s Coming Up…
Monday will be dry and pleasant with highs into the mid-70s and some sunshine. This trend continues Tuesday, with highs in the upper 70s. Rain and thunderstorms are then likely to return Tuesday night and Wednesday, with a chance for some stronger storms Wednesday afternoon. Additional showers may linger into Thursday.
Looking Ahead…
Friday looks mostly dry before more chances for showers and thunderstorms return next weekend as temperatures warm up a bit closer to normal for this time of the year.
