GRAND ISLAND — A local grant of $1,000 has been awarded to the Grand Island Utilities Department as part of a national giving campaign.
The grant money will go toward the purchase of new AED units for the department. The gift comes from Walmart’s Spark Good Program, which brings together all of Walmart and Sam’s Club’s community giving programs under one brand and puts both customers and associates in the driver’s seat, making it easier to give to the causes they care most about.
In this instance, the giving comes in the form of a Spark Good Local Grant, but there are also campaigns named Spark Good Round Up, Spark Good Registry and Spark Good Space Tool. The programs also encourage associate giving and volunteerism.
