Walmart donating $1.5 million to fight hunger--vote for the communities that should receive the aid

Walmart is giving away $1.5 million to fight hunger in six metropolitan areas. Here's how it works: Go to http://fightinghunger.walmart.com, log onto Facebook, and choose the community you want to help by clicking "Like." The metropolitan area with the most "Likes" will receive $1 million for hunger relief efforts, the five runner-ups will receive $100,000 each. I voted for Chicago, which is way, way behind the current Top Six.

They are:
  • Memphis
  • Bakersfield, CA
  • Youngstown, OH
  • Fresno, CA
  • Orlando
  • Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, CA
Voting ends on New Year's Eve.

    Hasn't Chicago been fighting building Wal*Marts?

    Not anymore. Daley has always favored them, but a majority of the city council has been against them until recently.
