Walmart and Sam's Club donate large quantities of unsold grocery items and partner with Feeding America to redistribute food to those in need. Over a 20-year partnership, the retailers have contributed more than 9 billion pounds of food and over $271 million in donations, including $177 million from Walmart Inc. and the Walmart Foundation and $95 million from shoppers. Unsuitable food for human consumption is repurposed through a partnership with Denali, which de-packages and processes waste into material usable as animal feed or compost. These measures reduce food waste and support food security nationwide.
Have you ever wondered what happens to unsold food at a grocery store once it reaches its sell-by date? How about that produce on the shelf that's no longer plump and shiny enough to tempt shoppers? Fortunately, in the case of Walmart and its subsidiary, Sam's Club - a warehouse retail chain known for food court items like pizza pretzels and brownie sundaes - not much of that food will go to waste.
Not only is a Sam's Club membership more affordable than one from Costco, but its partnership with the nationwide food bank network Feeding America is pretty impressive. According to the organization's website, the retailers have donated over 9 billion pounds of food to its various locations. This is just one way the company works to give back and ensure food security for millions of people. Over their 20-year partnership, Walmart and Sam's Club have brought in more than $271 million in donations, with $177 million coming from Walmart Inc. and Walmart Foundation and another $95 million donated by Walmart and Sam's Club shoppers.
