Walmart & Sam’s Club Continue Their Commitment to Addressing Food Insecurity in Coastal Georgia
Friday, May 5th, 2023
Rising food prices, continued supply chain disruptions, and the end of
pandemic-related federal emergency support programs are affecting the charitable food system as well
as millions of people in America, with nearly 34 million people, including more than 9 million children,
facing hunger.
For the 10 th straight year, all U.S. Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs are launching the Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign, helping to end food insecurity and provide nourishment to families and individuals across the country.
In partnership with Walmart customers, Sam’s Club members, suppliers and associates, the campaign
aims to help people who experience food insecurity in Coastal Georgia gain access to the food and
resources they need to thrive.
As one of our largest annual cause marketing campaigns, Fight Hunger. Spark Change. has generated
more than $165 million and helped secure nearly 1.7 billion meals* for the Feeding America ® network of food banks since its inception in 2014, including here in Coastal Georgia.
The campaign will run in-store, in club, and online from April 10-May 8. There are three easy ways to
support neighbors in need.
· For every participating product purchased in-store, in club, or online at Walmart.com or
SamsClub.com, the supplier will donate the monetary equivalent of at least one meal ($0.10) on
behalf of a Feeding America member food bank at Walmart and five meals ($0.50) at Sam’s
Club, up to applicable limits. See specially marked packages for full details.
· Donate at check-out in stores or clubs or round-up at Walmart.com.
· Donate at Feeding America’s Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign donation site at either
www.FeedingAmerica.org/Walmart or www.FeedingAmerica.org/SamsClub .
“We are grateful to our associates, customers, members, and suppliers who have joined us over the past
10 years to fight hunger in their communities,” said Kathleen McLaughlin, President of the Walmart
Foundation. “While we strive to expand access to healthy, affordable food year-round, the annual Fight
Hunger. Spark Change. campaign allows us to come together with Feeding America to raise awareness
of food insecurity and invite others to join us in our work to end hunger.”
