Wal-Mart's commitment to give back to the communities we serve is shared by our associates and customers. We are proud that the generous contributions of our associates and customers touched the lives of families who may have otherwise gone without the joys of the holiday season. I would like to thank all of those who contributed to this year's Red Kettle campaign. They deserve sincere congratulations on making our neighbors' holiday a little brighter.

We asked the schools to think outside the box and be innovative. We asked them to tell us what they wanted to do to take their programs to the next level.

We are proud to join together with America's Second Harvest to help those dealing with the tragedy of hunger in communities throughout America. The goal of this effort is to help make a difference in the lives of our customers and neighbors in the communities we serve.

We are so proud of our associates and our customers for their generosity and compassion. These funds will touch the lives of thousands of families who have been through so much this past year. Wal-Mart remains committed to helping the people of the Gulf Coast region restore their lives and communities.
