When you shop at Walmart and buy one of the more than 200 participating items, the company will donate a meal to a local food bank.

“There’s over 44 million people nationwide that are food insecure and this campaign makes a meaningful difference as the largest campaign with feeding America,” said Melody Richard, senior vice president for Pantry at Walmart U.S.

This is the 11th year of the campaign. So far, it has helped get nearly 1.9 billion meals for food banks across the country and has a goal to donate another 205 million this year.
