In Arlington, Texas, we are all about teams…
AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys
Globe Life Park, Home of the Texas Rangers
Walmart, Home to the Fight Hunger Spark Change campaign
Our local Walmart is planted directly in between Globelife Park, home of the Texas Rangers and AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. However, this time our team is setting out to fight hunger with the Fight Hunger Spark Change campaign.
When you look around you, wherever you are, at the store, at work, at school it’s hard to think that 1 in 6 of those people you are looking at, talking to or passing in the hallway or in the aisle is struggling with hunger.
With such astronomical proportions, it’s really hard to even begin to think how you can help.
However, now until May 3, by just buying specially marked items you already buy regularly at Walmart, snap a shot of six friends or by just making a donation at your local Walmart, you can make a difference to FIGHT HUNGER SPARK CHANGE to have 75,000,000 meal donations to local food banks with Feeding America.
Yes, it’s that easy to make a difference!
1) For each participating product purchased at Walmart now May 3, suppliers will make a donation to help secure one meal* on behalf of local Feeding America food banks. Together with Campbell’s, ConAgra Foods, General Mills, Kellogg Company, Kraft and Unilever, Walmart hopes to secure 75 million meals* by the end of the campaign. For more information and a list of participating products, please visit walmart.com/fighthunger.
2) Walmart customers can donate to their local Feeding America food bank at the registers of any participating Walmart.
3) Share the movement on your social media channels to generate a donation.
Here’s how it works:
- Take a picture of six people who commit to solving hunger
- Post your picture on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and connect it to the hashtag #WeSparkChange—make sure your post is public so it can be seen and counted
- Share your post
- Walmart will donate $10 for every qualifying post, up to $1.5 million**
We’re only half way there today and only a few weeks left to help make it to 75,000, o00. I know you’ll be doing some grocery shopping in the next three weeks – just make sure to grab the boxes with the sticker “FIGHT HUNGER SPARK CHANGE” and your item = one meal.
If you don’t think hunger is a problem for you or those people are around you, you might want to think twice.

This such a wonderful idea. Hunger is a terrible thing to have to endure. =(
I can’t imagine being that kind of hungry. I think this is a wonderful initiative.
I wish more companies would take a stand and help those in need. While I do all that I can to help, I don’t have the income I wish I did to do more.
Hunger is definitely epidemic. Because we live in a “land of plenty” it’s very easy to assume it’s not “really” a problem in the US, but it is. Glad to hear about this initiative.
That is awesome! I love when brands and companies give back like this, and no one should ever EVER go hungry!
I love that these brands are giving back to help kids get the food they need. And especially love how easy it is for us to help by purchasing products we use all the time too! What a great cause!
I think it is great that Walmart is giving back to those in need. I will be purchasing these brands.
This is such a great program. It is terrible there are so many hungry people when we waste so much good food.
Hunger is a terrible thing to go threw. I am happy to see Walmart getting involved.
I am a big advocate of ending hunger. This is a great initiative- thank you for being a part of such an important cause!
This is a really easy way to donate. I’ll have to remember this if I go to Walmart!
That’s awesome that Walmart is doing this! I will be sharing to donate.
I love, love, love this campaign. It is so important to help people that can’t afford to eat and this is a very simple way to do so. 🙂
This is such a great cause. I will gladly grab 6 friends. I wish more companies would do this. Thanks for sharing.
I love when Walmart does things such as this. They are such a big company, it’s great that they give back.
I think it’s always great to give back when you can. What a great program!
Sad how we live in such a place where no one needs to go hungry but yet… it’s still such a huge issue. I love hearing big companies doing great things like this!
What a great initiative! Hunger is right in our backyards!
This is awesome! What a great way to give back!
This is so great. I will have to make sure I look for that the next time I am at the store
