supplies," said Willem Van Milink, WFP representative in Guatemala. "With this contribution, Walmart is ensuring nutritional assistance specifically for pregnant women as well as young children. This will help with their development as well as break the intergenerational cycle of hunger and poverty."

The Walmart Foundation will also donate $125,000 to the American Red Cross International Relief Fund to help aid in their response to recent disasters in the Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam, Samoa and American Samoa. The funds will go toward meeting the immediate needs of these vulnerable populations by funding the distribution of medical provisions, water, temporary shelters, and sanitation services, as well as help emergency responders reconnect families, restore livelihoods, and help the communities build their resilience for future natural disasters.

"The American Red Cross provides help and hope to people in need, whether they are a neighbor dealing with a home fire or someone halfway across the globe facing the devastation of an earthquake or tsunami," said Jeff Towers, Chief Development Officer of the American Red Cross. "The generosity and compassion of donors such as the Walmart Foundation is vital to the ability of the Red Cross to fulfill our humanitarian mission."

Walmart has long been recognized as a corporate leader around the globe in the area of disaster relief. In 2008 alone, the Walmart Foundation donated $300,000 to World Vision to assist with flood relief efforts in Brazil, $1 million to the Red Cross Society of China for areas impacted by snowstorms in southern China, and $3 million in disaster relief and reconstruction for the earthquakes in the Sichuan Province, China.
