We were delighted to welcome a group of Walmart employees to our Oakville Distribution and Recycling Centre (DRC) for a hands-on volunteer experience. The visit began with a tour of the DRC, where participants learned about our operations and community impact. The highlight of the day was a collaborative sorting activity, where Walmart employees worked alongside our Thrift Store managers, DRC team members, and Business Development staff to process business and community donations.
As part of the sorting process, items were recorded on inventory sheets to ensure a balanced and fair distribution to our Thrift Stores. It was a meaningful day of teamwork, learning, and shared commitment to sustainability and community support.
See what the Walmart Team shared about their experience: “Volunteering at The Salvation Army Thrift Store is not only meaningful for our Walmart Canada team but also an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in the communities we serve. When our associates return from volunteering, they come back engaged and inspired. The energy and passion of The Salvation Army team is truly amazing, and it motivates us to continue the important work of supporting communities.”
We are grateful to Walmart for their continued partnership and to their team members for rolling up their sleeves to make a meaningful difference.
