Walmart donates refrigerator truck to Hub food bank

Walmart, the store nameplate of the giant retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc., said the company and its foundation will provide $28 million in monetary and in-kind donations to nonprofits across the country this holiday season.

Among the donations is a refrigerator truck for the Greater Boston Food Bank, one of 35 being donated to various food banks across the country, said the company, which added that the Boston food bank would get some additional product donations.

"Valued at $85,000, the new truck and 12 pallets of Great Value-branded products and fresh apples donated by the Walmart Foundation will arrive in Boston in time for Thanksgiving," Walmart said in a press release. (Globe Staff)
