Walmart Launches Fight Hunger Spark Change Campaign


Walmart has launched a campaign this week called 'Fight Hunger, Spark Change' to fight against hunger.
It seems that Walmart Stores Incorporation is looking to make a change by launching a campaign this week called, ‘Fight Hunger. Spark Change’ in order to take action in fighting against hunger with the help of the public. The giant US retail chain has a partnership with Feeding South Dakota helping to get huge amount of food for the needy in the area, it has 200 food banks across the nation known as ‘Feeding America’.
Walmart Stores Inc. is a massive retailer known worldwide and through a move of such category, it can definitely help make a change. The aim for this recent campaign is to provide secure meals to at least 75 million people from the network of Feeding America, the campaign will go on till the 29th of April. The food providing organization gains almost $3 million of donations through the retail chain which are based on public participation through the campaign.
A year ago, $48,000 were attained through the campaign for Feeding South Dakota, the development associate, Debbie Renner also agrees that without Walmart Stores, the goals it plans to achieve would have been much difficult to attain and consider this partnership as a great gift. A change, big or small, can definitely be expected from this campaign.  According to the data of USDA, one out of seven people in the United States suffer from hunger, indicating that this time is the best one for campaign of such a kind to take place.
Walmart Wholesale is requesting the public to participate in the campaign and help make a change in the very own communities they call home. This campaign will also be contributing factor to raising more awareness about the issue that exists in the area and what people can do to change that through local funds. The retailer is offering people to contribute in-store and even online for Feeding America Network.
There are three ways customer of Walmart can play a part in this campaign, the first one being, locals can buy products in the retailers store that are going to help provide meals for poor families. The second way is getting donations online for food banks by sharing and liking posts on different social media networks. The third way of participation is by donating at the local FAN food bank while checking out. Walmart has been a partner of Feeding America for over 10 years now and this is its third campaign to generate donations. The retailer is helping raise awareness and make change to fight hunger and help locals.
