Urban Caucus Chair Applauds Wal-Mart's Contribution to Nation's Food Banks

Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA) Chair of the Congressional Urban Caucus responds to Wal-Mart's philanthropic move.

WASHINGTON, May 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "On behalf of the millions of urban residents adversely impacted by the nation's recession, I want to thank Wal-Mart for its commitment to invest in their well being. Wal-Mart's efforts to help improve the efficiency of the U.S. food bank system and make nutritious food more accessible to those most in need while providing long-term solutions to eradicating hunger in America is to be admired.

"Wal-Mart's Fighting Hunger Together initiative will provide over $2 billion in cash and in-kind commitments to those 49 million Americans who are currently struggling with hunger.  This is a positive step toward helping to eradicate the silent epidemic of hunger in America; a step I hope would be emulated by other major corporations."
