WALMART FACTS

One day last week someone got the best of me. There was a comment thrown out there saying people who work at Walmart are IGNORANT. Well of course that anger me since my husband is an employee of Walmart. Matter of fact my husband as been at Walmart for 11 years now. Walmart has it pro's and con's. But most people like to hype on the cons. Well I decided for all of you haters out there some FACTS about walmart. And how walmart has helped out your community. Yes I do shop at Target also. Yes, I do believe Target as more quality of things. That doesn't mean I knock Walmart. I do 90% of my grocery shopping at walmart. But here are some known facts :

1. Walmart commites to give Chile 1 million dollars
2. From Feb 1 2008 to Jan 2009 Walmart gave more than $423 million in cash and in-kind gifts globally.
3. Just in Nc alone in 2009 Walmart Corporation and associates gave $9,315,708 to their community. Which means it stayed in North Carolina
4. In 2008 Walmart donated to AMERICA food banks over 90 million pounds of food
5. As a Walmart give back program. Walmart donated 1.1 million dollars to military families for books and gifts for the Christmas season
6. Walmart has donated over 1 million dollars to the National center of Family Homelessness
7. In 2009 Walmart awarded Meals on Wheels with 2.2 million dollars
8. 1.2 million was donated to the BOYS AND GIRLS CLUB OF AMERICA
9. WALMART EMPLOYEES 1.4 MILLION IN UNITED STATES ALONE. (for all of you people that complain about walmart. And we should not let Walmart be in this community. Imagine if Walmart wasn't here. There would be more than 1.4 million jobs loss. Hey Walmart should be president, seems like they are doing a better job than Obama???)

Just little bit of facts. More will come later when I have more time to vent.
