The true success of the Walmart Retail Agency Capacity Grant is measured by the people it reaches. Behind every food pickup, every store partnership, and every agency partner is a neighbor whose family benefits from increased access to nutritious food. We can see that success in action at Target Hunger.
This investment was designed to help local agency partners build their capacity to conduct direct retail food pickups from Walmart stores. By equipping and supporting partners on the front lines of hunger relief, the grant has increased access to fresh, nutritious food while creating a more efficient and sustainable food rescue system. Throughout this series, we’ve shared the stories of the partners, supporters, and neighbors who made this work possible, demonstrating how collaboration can transform surplus food into hope for our community.
With support from Walmart, Sam’s Club, Feeding America, and Houston Food Bank, agency partners have expanded their ability to rescue food directly from local retailers and distribute it within their communities. Together, these partnerships are giving perfectly good food a second chance while helping neighbors build healthier, more food-secure futures. This work demonstrates what is possible when donors, nonprofit organizations, agency partners, and communities unite around a common goal: ensuring everyone has access to the food they need to thrive.
