Hunger

Commitment	Progress	Update
Through 2015, donate 1.1 billion pounds of food from Walmart and Sam’s Club facilities in the U.S.		Since announcing our Fighting Hunger Together commitment in May 2010, Walmart and Sam’s Club facilities have donated more than 1.58 billion pounds of food, surpassing our goal one year earlier than anticipated.
Through 2015, award $250 million in hunger-relief grants at the local, state and national levels.		As of January 2014, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation have awarded $260 million in grants to hunger-relief programs at the local, state and national levels. This is 4 percent more than our original commitment.
Mobilize Walmart associates and customers.		In 2013, we expanded our efforts to engage Walmart associates and customers in the fight against hunger in the U.S. Over the course of the summer, associates participated in a Volunteerism Goes Viral campaign, which resulted in more than 4,100 associates volunteering more than 13,000 hours toward hunger relief efforts. Walmart and the Walmart Foundation donated more than $250,000 in grants to those nonprofits to support the efforts of our associates.
Collaborate with government, food manufacturers, other foundations and corporations.		To ensure the success and sustainability of our efforts, we work with others who are fighting hunger. These partnerships magnify our impact. For example, we engaged 10 of our partner suppliers in our Fighting Hunger Together campaign, resulting in more than $4 million in additional donations to fight hunger across the U.S. We also actively work with other corporations that are committed to this cause to share learnings and help raise public awareness.
