Wal-Mart donates $200,000 to The Salvation Army

Wal-Mart has donated $200,000 in gift cards to The Salvation Army to be given to underprivileged families in eight U.S. communities this Christmas, reports CitizenLink Daily.

Each of the communities will receive 500 gift cards totaling $25,000 through a local Salvation Army corps. The charity began distributing the $50 gift cards to families this week in: Anchorage, Alaska; Ashland, Ohio; Benton Harbor, Mich.; Camden, N.J.; Detroit; Knoxville, Tenn.; Portland, Ore.; and the Northern West Virginia Panhandle.

“We are delighted that Wal-Mart is making this extremely generous donation to help families in need this Christmas,” Commissioner Israel Gaither, national commander of The Salvation Army, told The Christian Post.

“These cards will help make Christmas a little brighter for those who might otherwise go without.”
