No matter how busy he was with his company and his family, Sargento founder Leonard Gentine always made time to give back to his community. Today, Sargento carries on our tradition of Community Outreach that Leonard held so dear. It is a tradition we vow never to change.
Leonard taught the Sargento Family that we have an obligation to do what is right rather than what’s right for the moment. Today, our company’s unique culture encourages and facilitates Community Outreach – both corporately and individually. We are very proud of our ability to help the community and particularly proud of our employees, who put heart and muscle into helping us reach out to others.
Our company philanthropy focuses on hunger relief, housing and education. We understand that helping to meet these basic needs makes families and communities thrive. Sargento gives generously to these causes because our founder believed in sharing our company’s success with our community neighbors who we consider part of the Sargento Family.
We believe real food builds stronger communities. That’s why we’ve donated millions of dollars to fight hunger and food insecurity through our partnerships with the Green Bay Packers and the Milwaukee Brewers. We’ve also donated millions of pounds of cheese to local and national food banks.

We believe that every family should have a place to call home. That’s why for almost three decades, we’ve donated more than 16,000 hours to build more than 30 forever homes through Habitat for Humanity.

We believe education plays a critical role in personal development and a community’s overall success. We’ve donated more than $3 million to the United Way the past five years. We also serve and support other non-profits that help break the cycle of generational poverty through education.

S.E.C.A.P. Singers – In 1991 a group of Sargento employees formed a signing ensemble with the mission of spreading holiday cheer to senior citizens who can get lonely at Christmas time. This group became known as Sargento Employees Caring About People and every year since, they have been singing at community nursing homes around the holidays.
United Way – Our annual United Way campaign is among the top fundraisers for the Sheboygan County United Way. We are grateful for our employees who contribute to the campaign. Their contributions are matched by Sargento.
Day of Caring – Our employees enjoy participating in the Sheboygan County United Way’s annual Day of Caring where companies band together to tackle big projects for non-profit organizations. From painting, to pulling weeds, to preparing meals, this day proves how small actions and make a big impact.
