Walmart’s Hurricane Helene Information page, which provides up-to-date details on store and club closures. You’ll also find information on how we’re supporting local communities with essential supplies and relief efforts as these resources become available. Walmart, Sam's Club, and the Walmart Foundation are committing an initial $6 million in support of hurricane relief efforts, including donations of food, water, essential supplies, and grants to organizations providing relief to these devastated areas. As part of this commitment, Walmart will match customer donations to the American Red Cross 1:1, up to $2.5 million, when they donate to support hurricane relief at the registers in stores and clubs and on Walmart.com from Oct. 1 – Oct. 13. We are committed to working together to ensure that those affected have the support they need.
