Tight end Tom Crabtree, running back Brandon Saine and linebacker Frank Zombo will sign a limited number of autographs and meet Packer backers from approximately 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. at the store, 1800 Appleton Road.

"We look forward to hosting each of these exceptional athletes," said Wendy Shoemaker, Goodwill NCW's vice president of retail stores and training centers. "Their visit gives us an opportunity to highlight our many programs and services as well as our ongoing environmental initiatives. Beyond that, it'll be a blast for Packer fans among our shoppers, donors and team members."
