Health & Sanitation: Slow the Spread

Walmart is giving away PPE and sanitation equipment to schools and frontline workers in our various communities. With your help and support we can slow the spread of COVID19.

Through our donation match initiative, we pledge to give supplies to our chosen community partners for every one purchased on the list below.

  • Disposable/Reusable face masks

Wearing a mask to cover your nose and mouth not only protects the wearer, but also everyone they come in contact with. Masks block most germs coming from a person’s mouth and nose, preventing airborne spread of the virus.

  • Hand sanitizer

Hand sanitizer is a good way to regularly keep up with staying healthy. The leading brands of sanitizer kill over 99% of all germs, so a quick pump of hand sanitizer after touching a shared surface can greatly reduce the spread of disease.

  • Antibacterial Wipes

Wiping down shared surfaces can also reduce the spread of the virus. Using wipes in schools and other shared spaces make sure that surfaces are always safe and ready for their next user.

  • Hand soap

While hand sanitizer can be extremely helpful in slowing the spread, nothing beats good old fashioned soap and water. People should be washing their hands for 30 seconds at least every hour to thoroughly decontaminate their hands.
