Each year, Walmart U.S. stores, Sam’s Clubs and Distribution Centers award local cash grants ranging from $250 to $5,000 through an open application process to eligible organizations. These local grants are designed to address the unique needs of the communities where Walmart operates.
“Walmart’s continued investment in our mission is very important and much appreciated,” said Hamilton Haven executive director Michele Hamilton Rhodes. “It’s a testament to what our team has accomplished and that it is recognized by the community.”
Hamilton Haven, a nonprofit, opened in April 2020 and provides emergency, temporary housing for displaced families and individuals.
This grant was awarded by the Hope Walmart location.
Public Relations Coordinator Nathan Tidwell noted that Walmart stores have contributed more than $4,000 to Hamilton Haven.
“Walmart is proactive in improving its Local Grant process,” Tidwell said. “Requests are easy to submit, and questions are answered promptly.”
