BENTONVILLE Ark., May 19, 2010– On Tuesday, May 19th associates from Walmart DC #6008 presented the Bella Vista Club with a $500.00 donation.
This donation was through the VAP (Volunteerism Always Pays) program through the Walmart Foundation. On April 15th, seven associates from DC#6008 came out to the Bella Vista club to volunteer their time through the Live United Day sponsored by United Way of Northwest Arkansas. The associates spent most of the day giving the club a face lift and painted several of the programming rooms throughout the Club.
The other Walmart managers who participated in the Live United Day were Mary Vaughn, Conny Knight and Leroy Ellis. All of the managers were from Walmart Distribution Center 6008 in Bentonville except for Leroy Ellis who is from Logistics Administration.
