• Military Support
At the Walmart Foundation, we believe that our servicemen and women have one of the most difficult and important jobs in the world. In an ongoing effort to recognize the service and sacrifice of our military personnel and their families, we support organizations nationwide that are working hard to create opportunities and provide services for the military community.

• Disaster Relief
Whether the disaster is a fire, flood or hurricane, Walmart is first in line to lend a helping hand to the communities we serve. In the aftermath of a disaster, basic needs become paramount and many of the products Walmart and Sam’s Club contribute can save lives. Working collaboratively with the American Red Cross and The Salvation Army, Walmart is able to provide life-sustaining items and much needed peace of mind to those in need of assistance. We’re proud to support disaster relief efforts in communities around the world.

• Giving Programs
The Walmart Foundation supports diverse charities large and small. We support the efforts of organizations serving the neighborhoods where our facilities are located as well as organizations serving people around the world. We also encourage our associates to volunteer and become active members of their communities and local organizations.

• Major Contributions
