At Wal-Mart Stores Inc., we are committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of our associates, our customers and those in the communities we serve. As part of this commitment, in 2005, we donated more than $245 million in cash and in-kind donations to help charities and organizations throughout the country. We invite you to learn more about our philanthropic efforts and our giving philosophy in our 2005 Charitable Giving Brochure.
