For the remainder of March, Walmart and Sam’s Club announced the return of the Fight Hunger, Spark Change campaign.
The goal of the campaign is “to provide people facing hunger with access to the food and resources…they need to thrive.” People can participate by donating a checkout or through the app, purchasing participating products, or directly through the Feeding America’s website.

Spark Change. campaign, we invite our customers and members to join us in providing access to food for our neighbors by supporting Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland.”
