Fight Hunger Spark Change With Walmart

April 12, 2015 by Tara Kuczykowski 1 Comment

In a perfect world, every family would have access to affordable, nutritious and sustainably grown food. Unfortunately, reality is that one in six Americans is unable to secure adequate nutrition. Imagine having to make the choice between putting food on your table or other basic necessities — where would you turn?

Thankfully there are networks, like Feeding America, that offer hope to families experiencing food insecurity. But Feeding America relies heavily on donations from food and grocery industries, government agencies, individuals and other organizations to serve their communities, and that’s where Walmart has stepped up to the plate.

To assist in supporting the need for donations, Walmart developed the Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign. Along with six suppliers — Campbell’s, ConAgra Foods, General Mills, Kellogg Company, Kraft, and Unilever — Walmart hopes to make an impact by educating and raising awareness about the issue of hunger to the more than 250 million people that shop at Walmart each week.

3 Easy Ways to Get Involved and Help Fight Hunger
Walmart customers can get involved by choosing one, two, or all three of the options for getting involved below!

  • Purchase: Purchase one of the 239 participating products in Walmart stores nationwide, and the supplier will make a donation to help Feeding America secure a meal on behalf of a local food bank. For every item purchased, a meal will be secured for the local Feeding America food bank.*
  • Donate: Customers will also be able to donate on behalf of a local Feeding America food bank at the cash register during check out.
  • Share: Grab friends, family or co-workers and take a picture of six people who share your commitment to fighting hunger. Then, publish the picture on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, make the post public and include the hashtag #WeSparkChange. For every public post connected to the #WeSparkChange hashtag, Walmart will donate $10, up to a maximum donation of $1.5 million, to Feeding America and their member food banks.

This campaign will run in U.S. Walmart stores from April 6 to May 3, so get out and get involved! Learn more at: https://walmart.com/fighthunger

*DISCLAIMER: For every participating product purchased at Walmart between April 6th and May 3rd, 2015, the manufacturer will donate $0.10 to Feeding America® — enough to secure 1 meal on behalf of local food banks — up to each manufacturer’s maximum donation. Each manufacturer’s maximum donation is provided on the participating packages. See package or Walmart.com/FightHunger for details.

Fight Hunger, Spark Change With Walmart

September 30, 2014 by Tara Kuczykowski 1 Comment

Our family has been through some pretty lean times, but we’ve always managed to put food on our table — something I know so many struggle with each day. In fact, one in seven Americans, including 12 million children, turn to the Feeding America food bank network for food assistance each year… That’s a pretty staggering fact, isn’t it?

The sad truth is that food banks across the nation are facing a growing need for donations these days. To help combat the historically high rate of of food insecurity, Walmart has joined with Feeding America to support food banks and local partner agencies across the country in the Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign. Even better, they’ve enlisted the help of six of the nation’s largest food companies, including General Mills, Unilever, Hormel, ConAgra Foods, PepsiCo/Quaker and Kellogg Company.

How You Can Help Fight Hunger

So how can we help out? A great starting place is by voting voting online for your local food bank at www.walmart.com/fightinghunger! You can cast one vote per day, and at the end of the voting period, the top 50 food banks will each receive a $60,000 grant. Food banks really know how to stretch that kind of money — that’s the monetary equivalent of 37 million meals!

Currently, the Mid-Ohio Food Bank (my local food bank) is in 17th place, making them a strong candidate for receiving one of these much-needed grants. I’d love to see my local friends jump in and vote daily to help keep them there! Or if you’d prefer to support your own local food bank, you can easily search for it by state.

When you place your vote, you’ll also received information on how you can donate or volunteer to take a direct action in the fight against hunger in your local community. Together we can make a lasting impact in helping to reduce hunger in America!

But don’t wait — voting is only open through this Sunday, October 5th…
