For the 12th consecutive year, all U.S. Walmart stores and Sam’s Club locations are launching the ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ campaign.
From now through March 31, local shoppers can help generate funding and resources for Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida. There are three ways to participate:
- Donate at check-out in stores, clubs and/or round up at Walmart.com and the Walmart app.
- Purchase designated products in-store or online at Walmart.com or SamsClub.com.
- Contribute to Feeding America’s ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ campaign at either www.feedingamerica.org/walmart or www.feedingamerica.org/samsclub
Recent data shows that one in eight Central Floridians is at risk of experiencing food insecurity.
“We continue to hear stories of Central Floridians making difficult decisions about how to stretch their dollars each month,” said Derrick Chubbs, President and CEO at Second Harvest. “It takes all of us to make sure our neighbors have the nutritious foods they need to thrive, making partnerships like this one more important than ever.”
Since its inception in 2014, the ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ campaign has generated more than $206 million and helped secure two billion meals* for the Feeding America® network of local food banks.
“For the past 20 years, Feeding America, Walmart and Sam’s Club have worked together to fight hunger and help people live better in the communities we serve,” said Julie Gehrki, president, Walmart Foundation and senior vice president, philanthropy at Walmart. “During the ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change.’ campaign, we invite our customers and members to join us in providing access to food for our neighbors by supporting Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.”
