As the Canadian Red Cross and Walmart Canada launched their annual giving campaign, Walmart Canada committed a $1-million donation to disaster relief efforts across Canada.

The annual giving campaign is live from June 25 to July 24 at Walmart Canada stores nationwide and online. Funds donated by Canadians will help the Red Cross provide critical assistance, including emergency lodging, food, clothing, and personal items, to people affected by emergencies in Canada.

The annual nationwide giving campaign supports emergency response efforts across the country and strengthens community resilience. Recent floods have impacted communities in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Ontario, and the money raised through the campaign will provide immediate relief in the first days following an emergency, as well as longer-term recovery support.

In the past 23 years, Walmart Canada, together with its associates and customers, has raised more than $77 million for the Red Cross. On average, Walmart Canada’s support has helped one in four Canadians assisted by the Red Cross.
