Arkansas Foodbank Joins Forces with Walmart and Sam’s Club in Fight Hunger. Spark Change. Campaign.
In Arkansas. 1 in 6 people and 1 in 5 children face hunger. In the U.S., 44 million people–or 1 in 7–face hunger, including more than 13 million children. Hunger knows no boundaries, and it impacts people in our communities.
Which is why Walmart and Sam’s Club are coming together with their supplier partners, customers, members, associates and Feeding America® partner food banks for the 11th annual Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign to help fight hunger in communities nationwide.
The 11th annual Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign will run in stores, clubs and online from April 1 – 29, 2024. There are three easy ways for customers and members to participate to support their local food bank:
- For every participating product purchased in store 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 partner 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. Donations can be made in $1, $5 or an amount chosen by the customer/member. Customers can also round up their purchase on Walmart.com and the Walmart app.
- Donate at Feeding America’s Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign site at either www.FeedingAmerica.org/Walmart or www.FeedingAmerica.org/SamsClub.
The Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign benefits all 200 Feeding America partner food banks including the Arkansas Foodbank and has grown in scope since its inception, evolving to include all U.S.-based Walmart and Sam’s Club stores and a growing list of suppliers that includes several national, household food and consumer brands.
To date, the campaign has helped to secure nearly 1.9 billion meals for local food banks across the country. Fighting hunger means more than providing food to our neighbors in need. It’s about showing up in communities to support our neighbors in a way that makes a difference.
