Military SupportAt the Walmart Foundation, we believe that our servicemen and women have one of the most difficult and important jobs in the world. In an ongoing effort to recognize the service and sacrifice of our military personnel and their families, we support organizations nationwide that are working hard to create opportunities and provide services for the military community. Locally, associates at Walmart stores, Sam’s Clubs and distribution centers take the lead on many projects designed specifically for their neighborhoods ranging from adopting families whose loved ones are deployed to honoring local heroes on Walls of Honor inside Walmart stores and Sam’s Clubs in the weeks leading up to Veterans’ Day.
Military SupportAt Walmart, we recognize the important role the military, veterans and their families play in our nation. As one of the nation’s largest private employers of veterans and those on active duty, we value military experience.
