Dear Friends,
Starting April 9 and continuing through April 30, 2012, Walmart is providing their customers and the general public with ways to join in the fight against hunger! Walmart, alongside four of the most recognizable food brands in America—ConAgra, General Mills, Kellogg’s and Kraft—will be fighting hunger together and helping Walmart’s customers support their local food banks. As part of the program, select products in Walmart stores will help customers generate meals to feed hungry families across the nation. By purchasing those products, customers can give back to nonprofits fighting hunger. 

Walmart is also launching a Fighting Hunger Together Facebook campaign encouraging the public to help them select one community to receive $1 million and 20 runner-up communities to receive $50,000 to fight hunger. The funds will be distributed among several organizations in the most supported communities. As one of Walmart’s partners, Harvest HOPE Food Bank could potentially receive a portion of those funds, but only if our community votes!

Please check out Walmart’s in store partnership and support Greenville-Mauldin by voting for our community on http://apps.facebook.com/walmartfighthunger/profile/1411?src=vote_share

Thank you for your continued support.
