\nMany of the decisions we make at Walmart require us to ask a host of complicated questions. But occasionally, we find ourselves in a position to ask one simple question: How can we help?<\/i><\/p>\n

\nWe\u2019ve watched with the rest of the world as events unfold in Afghanistan. There are thousands of human lives at stake. They belong to generations of Afghan people whose history and culture are inextricably tied to the American men and women who have served in Afghanistan over our decades-long involvement there.\n<\/p>\n

\nThroughout Walmart\u2019s history, serving people and communities has been at the center of everything we do. We\u2019re proud that our associates reflect the communities we serve, and we\u2019ve heard from members of those communities \u2013 including Afghan and veteran associates \u2013 that they\u2019re ready to help. Here\u2019s how:\n<\/p>\n

\nWe\u2019re looking to the cross-cultural experience of our veteran and Afghan associates to support refugees, service members and one another, as veteran leaders at Walmart explore ways to support these efforts. We\u2019re offering options for customers to get involved. And the Walmart Foundation is committing $1 million to three nonprofits supporting Afghan refugees entering the U.S., as well as veterans and their families.\n<\/p>\n

\nI know that for anyone who has traveled to Afghanistan, or worked with its citizens, what we\u2019re witnessing is difficult. Afghan nationals have served alongside U.S. troops as translators, emissaries and soldiers in a fight against terror. These are people who have directly saved American lives, and now, we\u2019re trying to help facilitate their access to some part of the freedom and future we\u2019ve spent so long working toward together.\n<\/p>\n

\nTo the thousands of our associates who have served, we\u2019re here to listen and provide support. But we\u2019ll also look to your proven leadership. Many of you have a unique understanding of Afghanistan and its people. It\u2019s our hope that through a shared experience, you can help one another, as you have before.\n<\/p>\n

\nTo our customers, we know that many of you are looking for opportunities to help those in need too. We\u2019re working closely with nonprofits that are supporting the refugee crisis, and military veterans and families, to stand up registries on Walmart\u2019s Registry for Good<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

\nThrough the $1 million committed, the Walmart Foundation will support three organizations in aiding incoming refugees, as well as veterans and their families. No One Left Behind<\/a> and the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service<\/a> will continue their work with special immigrant visas (SIV), providing support as refugees enter the country. And the Tragedy Assistance Program For Survivors<\/a> (TAPS) will increase the capacity of its National Military Survivor Helpline, which provides 24\/7 support for veterans, military spouses and family members of America\u2019s fallen heroes.\n<\/p>\n

\nWe can help make a difference for Afghanistan\u2019s refugees, our veterans and their families. Walmart\u2019s purpose calls us to it. In moments of crisis, we support our communities \u2013 not just physical places, but the people who carry their culture. Walmart stands ready to continue that commitment in the weeks and months to come. Together, we must continue asking: How can we help?\n<\/p>\n
