Good morning Walmart Managers and Spark Good Partners,
We have made a critical decision! We are no longer waiting. We have changed our plans and are moving immediately to get food and essential supplies out now, before access gets tighter and before costs make it harder for all of us to respond. We are building a new strategy in real time because the situation is changing in real time.
But we cannot execute without funding. Every day we wait, fuel costs rise, supply chains tighten, and it becomes harder to move trucks, secure food, and reach the people who need it most. And you’ve seen it. The employee who shows up tired, stretched, trying to make it work.
The customer who pauses at the register and starts putting things back. The quiet moments that tell you something is off, even if no one says it out loud. Because most won’t say it. They won’t ask for help. They don’t want to feel like a burden to anyone. But they are struggling. And if we wait until it’s obvious, we will already be too late to help them the way we could right now.
We are asking for your immediate support so we can move ... today ... not later.
Let us help you support your employees, your customers, and your community before this becomes something we are all reacting to instead of leading through. Because once people are forced to choose between gas, food, and basic needs… everything begins to break down.
Let’s act now, while we still can without having to use more resources with higher prices and an inability to help more people.
Watch the video to see why we have to change our plans for you and your community.
