Whether it's a small grant to a local volunteer fire department or a large grant to a hunger relief organization working across several states, Walmart engages in opportunities that align with the Walmart Foundation's key areas of focus: Opportunity, Sustainability and Community.

Globally, Walmart and the Walmart Foundation gave $1.4 billion in cash and in-kind contributions during fiscal year ending Jan. 31, 2015. And, Walmart did it one grant and one community at a time.

The Potsdam Fire Department is pleased to announce that we were able to secure a $500 grant from the Walmart Community Grant Foundation this year! The money was used to upgrade an old projector that barely works in the firehouse meeting room, to a 70in SMART T.V. This will make fire prevention tours and various training's at the firehouse more manageable now by not having to worry about if the projector is going to function or not for them.

The members of the Potsdam Fire Department would like to extend our thanks Jeff Bonno (Store Manager for the Potsdam Walmart) and Kelly Hennessey (Walmart employee) for all their help in making the purchase of the T.V. and wall mount from the grant a success!
