An advocacy group called Organization United for Respect is
chastising Walmart for setting out storage containers to
collect donations for employees who can't afford a
Thanksgiving dinner.

The web page and Facebook page of the group feature a photo
of two storage containers underneath a sign that says,
"Please donate food items here so Associates in Need can
enjoy Thanksgiving dinner."

BS

Wal-Mart GIVES employees a turkey for thanksgiving, and they also run in
house events to collect money, stuff for associates who hit a hard spot
(house fires, major illnesses, vehicle accidents with injuries and such)

They also have programs in place to donate money to outside
organizations (MY FD gets a check every 6-12 months for 2-3,000.00 that
is given for the people at the DC who volunteer in the communities. They
also have sent MASSIVE amounts of food, clothes and household items into
the areas damaged by storms and floods.
