Hey, what's going on?
My name is Tyler Thomason,
and I'm coming to you
in our very first edition
of What's Good Walmart!
We want to do our part
to share some positivity,
some brightness, hopefully something
that might make you smile today.
All right, let's start
off with a great example:
You know, right now, the
CDC, they're encouraging
everybody to wear masks just like this
when they're out in public.
Well, my man Chad, he's
a Field Assistant Manager
in Realty Execution. He has made
more than 500 of these
and shipped them off
to 24 states across the country.
All right, another awesome story here.
This happened at Store
5299 in Clermont, Florida.
A couple came in wanting to
refund a pair of glasses.
The glasses worked just
fine, but the couple
needed the refund money
in order to buy groceries
because the couple had
both just lost their jobs.
They got in touch with
the Vision Center Manager
there, Rawaa, and Rawaa told them,
"I don't want to have to make you choose
between glasses or food on the table,"
so she gave them the
refund money and told them
to keep the glasses anyway.
Walmart Canada stepped up to help out.
They did grocery shopping
for health care workers
at the North York General Hospital.
They did the grocery
shopping and then made
the special delivery,
dropped off the groceries
at the hospital for those
health care workers there.
Awesome stuff!
So good to see that.
You might remember a few weeks ago,
a food bank in San Antonio made headlines.
Those images of cars lined up
hoping to get some food there.
We had a team in Region 8 that stepped up
in a big way: They teamed up
with the Walmart Foundation,
and they secured a $25,000 grant
for the local food bank
to help support meals
for those in need.
That's some great work right there.
Take a listen to this song
from a talented group of associates.
Here's SparkAppella:
We're all in this together
though times may be tough.
It's about the giving
and the sharing of love.
There's so much going on
in the world.
Let's take a moment
to spark some love.
Man, I wish I could sing like that!
Hey finally, one more thing!
We want to share a special message
from none other than
actress Drew Barrymore.
I wanna thank all the
people that are working
at Walmart on the front
lines and in the stores
and in the delivery
pickup. You are our heroes!
What you are doing is helping us
take care of our families right now,
and you deserve a cape!
And I just hope that
everybody is saying thank you.
Drew, thanks so much for that,
and thank you to our
incredible associates.
Hopefully, you saw something
in this first edition
of What's Good Walmart
that made you smile,
made you feel good. Let's do it again
on episode two!
We'll see you then.
