This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walmart for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

This holiday season, Walmart will be giving $1.5 million in grants to benefit local communities across the country and I have nominated Paul’s Pantry in Green Bay for this cause.

Paul’s Pantry is important to me because it helps members of the community in which my family lives.  Processing over 20,000 pounds of food DAILY, Paul’s Pantry distributes over thirty different perishable fruits and vegetables, usually five types of dairy products, fresh and frozen meats, and various types of bakery.

In addition there are many non-perishable food items such as cereal, soups, macaroni & cheese, canned meats & stews, canned vegetables and fruit.  Toilet tissue is usually distributed bi-weekly and other personal hygiene items such as soap and shampoo are distributed the last week of every month.

On December 10th, Wal-Mart will start the 12 Days of Giving by announcing who the winning non-profits are!  You can vote for a non-profit in your community on Facebook!  You can also still nominate a non-profit that is close to you by taking a moment and filling out your non-profit’s name, contact info, website, and why you are nominating them on the Walmart Facebook page between now and November 18th and encourage your community to vote!

I nominated a non-profit in my commjunity that I believe is truly helping make a differece, why don’t you nominate a non-profit near you?

If you do submit a nomination, please let me a comment below and tell me about them!
