For the second time in two weeks, many of our associates and communities have felt the impact of a major hurricane. We want those affected to know we stand with you and we're working quickly to help aid in relief and recovery. Walmart, Sam's Club and the Walmart Foundation are committing an additional $6 million to support urgent relief, including grants to Volunteer Florida, the Hispanic Federation, Meals on Wheels, and other local organizations across the state. Overall, more than $23 million has been committed and raised by customers and members in the past two weeks to support communities recovering from both hurricanes. Before the storm made landfall, we positioned over 300 refrigerated trucks and 500 truckloads of essential supplies in key locations. We’ve assisted more than 5,000 Walmart and Sam’s Club associates with evacuations, and we'll continue to look for ways to support them through this time. As millions face the heartbreak of losing homes and power, we’re working with nonprofits and suppliers to set up mobile units in store parking lots and provide much-needed resources, including free meals, WiFi hotspots, charging stations and laundry and shower services. To support the thousands of Floridians who evacuated, we’re also working closely with shelters to provide essential supplies. We're in this together, and we’ll keep showing up for associates in the days ahead. Here’s how to stay connected and get the latest updates: https://walmrt.us/4h0W0eb
