PHILADELPHIA, April 8, 2026 — Walmart and Sam’s Club are joining forces with the Philabundance as part of the 2026 Fight Hunger. Spark Change. campaign, a nationwide effort to support hunger relief efforts throughout the Feeding America® network of local food banks. Running April 6 through May 3, 2026, the 13th annual campaign invites customers, members, suppliers and Philadelphia and its surrounding eight counties to take action to ensure everyone has access to nutritious food, with all local donations directly benefiting Philabundance.

“Philabundance is committed to building thriving communities to ensure everyone has access to the nutritious food they deserve,” said Loree D. Jones Brown, CEO of Philabundance. “People are working hard to provide for themselves and their families, but so many need support to put food on their tables. Fight Hunger. Spark Change. is a chance each year for our community to come together alongside our neighbors facing hunger to take action, and we’re grateful to Walmart for partnering with us to make a difference.”

Today, Philabundance distributes food to more than 300 community partners including food pantries, shelters, schools and senior centers, across southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey to support nearly 700,000 people facing hunger. Last year, the organization distributed 44 million pounds of food, equivalent to 37 million meals, and rescued 28 million pounds of food through its Retail Rescue program.

As the need rises across the state, Philabundance will continue to show up for our community but meeting the challenge will require us all. For more than 20 years, Walmart, Sam’s Club and the Walmart Foundation have partnered with the Feeding America network to support hunger relief efforts nationwide, with nearly $300 million in investments and more than 9 billion pounds of food donated by Walmart to the Feeding America network of local food banks and partner agencies.
