What People Are Saying

Community Support

At Walmart, we believe in operating globally, but giving back locally. That’s why we make the majority of our charitable donations at the local level, where we can have the most impact on improving people’s lives. Walmart has been named the largest corporate cash donor in America. We gave away $296 million in 2007. Our Walmart jobs and opportunity zones help give small businesses the tools they need to grow.
