"FIGHT HUNGER. SPARK CHANGE."

In communities across the U.S., one in eight Americans, or nearly 40 million people, struggle with hunger, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. To raise awareness and combat the issue, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Feeding America®, participating suppliers and member food banks are kicking off their sixth annual nationwide “Fight Hunger. Spark Change.” (FHSC) campaign, which runs from April 22 to May 20. This year’s campaign aims to help Feeding America secure the Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign’s cumulative goal of 1 Billion Meals for local food banks.

Walmart and Sam’s Club’s customers and members can help Feeding America achieve the cumulative goal of 1 Billion Meals in three easy ways:

For every participating product purchased at U.S. Walmart stores, Sam’s Club, on walmart.com or samsclub.com during the campaign, the supplier will donate the monetary equivalent of one meal ($0.10) on behalf of a Feeding America member food bank, up to applicable limits.
Donate money to your local Feeding America member food bank at participating Walmart stores or Sam’s Clubs in the U.S.
Donate at feedingamerica.org/Walmart.
