Tough times demand tough action, and the Wal-Mart Foundation is stepping it up.It is donating $7.8 million to food banks, programs to feed hunger children, and outright food donation from Wal-Mart and Sam's Clubs.
A chief beneficiary is the Boys and Girls Clubs of America.
We are extremely grateful to Walmart for its generous support thatwill guarantee thousands of the young people we serve receive wholesome meals and snacks over the summer," said BGCA president and CEO Roxanne Spillett. "The current economic downturn has reduced donations to hundreds of our Clubs that are simultaneously receiving a record number of requests from families and children in need - many of whom have never had to ask for public assistance."
