Walmart commits $10.8M to Matthew 25: Ministries for disaster relief services expansion

Walmart has announced a $10.8 million grant to Matthew 25: Ministries to expand its national disaster relief laundry and shower trailer fleet in collaboration with Procter & Gamble, enhancing rapid-response services across the United States. The award will fund seven new trailers, as well as new tow vehicles and generators, to be strategically positioned across eight regional hubs to reach 90% of the mainland U.S. within eight hours of deployment. The expanded network is expected to support up to 48 activations annually, delivering hygiene services and essential supplies during emergencies. The initiative builds on prior Walmart funding that enabled 11 disaster response deployments.
