In the U.S., nearly 34 million people – or 1 in 10 people – face hunger, including more than 9 million children. Hunger knows no boundaries and it impacts people in our communities every day. In Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina’s 24-county service region, there are over 159,000 children and 52,000 seniors struggling each and every day with food insecurity. It is through partnerships like the one we have with Walmart, that we are able to serve over 950+ partner agencies and put food in the hands of those who are in need.
Feeding Possibilities:
Now in its tenth year, the Fight Hunger. Spark Change. Campaign has been a way for Walmart and Sam’s Club to partner with suppliers, customers and members to help provide food to people in need. To date, the campaign has helped generate more than $165 million for local food banks across the country. Fighting hunger means more than providing food to our neighbors experiencing food insecurity. It means feeding someone’s dreams, ambitions, and opportunity to be the best version of themselves.
