Volunteerism Always Pays Our associates have volunteered more than 7 million hours. We encourage all of our associates (employees) to get involved in charitable organizations that matter to their families and the communities where they live and work. Our Volunteerism Always Pays (VAP) programs, VAP and Event VAP, help associates volunteer on their own or with a group of associates interested in the same cause. Organizations that benefit from our VAP program include food pantries and educational facilities. When they volunteer, we’re there with themThrough VAP, associates may request charitable contributions on behalf of eligible organizations where they volunteer. In 2009, the more than 1.5 million volunteer hours reported by Walmart associates translated to more than $11 million in grant contributions.
