BENTONVILLE, Ark., May 29, 2019 /3BL Media/ - In response to the record floods and tornados that have continued to impact Midwestern and Southern states this spring, Walmart, Sam’s Club and Walmart.org have committed to provide an additional $150,000 in support through cash and product donations. This builds on earlier commitments in March and early May and brings the total support committed to $500,000.

The relief commitments are providing support to states across the Midwest and South, including Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas. The latest commitment will provide an additional $150,000 in product donations and cash grants to organizations actively engaged in responding to impacted communities. As part of this commitment, Walmart is also working closely with local officials and government entities to help meet the needs of those affected.

“The ongoing impact of tornados and historic floods continues to affect our associates, our customers and communities across the Midwest and South,” said Julie Gehrki, vice president, philanthropy at Walmart. “Our local stores and distribution centers, as well as the non-profits, first responders, local officials and government organizations continue to work hard to meet the needs of the affected communities we serve, and we are so grateful for their combined efforts.”

沃尔玛has a long history of providing aid in times of disasters, helping communities prepare and recover by donating emergency supplies, such as food and water, home and personal products. In the past two years, for example, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave nearly $50 million in cash, water, food and other products to support victims of hurricanes, wildfires and tornadoes. Additionally, during the same time period, the company raised $44 million in donations from customers to support hurricane relief.

盖尔基说：“尽管沃尔玛在灾难时期一直帮助社区帮助社区，但卡特里娜飓风的经历帮助我们意识到了如何最好地利用自己的优势，以在灾难发生后提供救济。”“自卡特里娜飓风，沃尔玛和沃尔玛基金会以来，我们的灾难响应计划正式，以迅速帮助那些受到最难受苦的人。沃尔玛（Walmart.org）代表了沃尔玛（Walmart）和沃尔玛基金会（Walmart Foundation）的慈善努力，并支持帮助社区建立弹性并在灾难发生时更快，更有效地做出反应的努力。”
