Northwest Arkansas Companies Leading Hurricane Response
Northwest Arkansas largest companies are often among the first to step up during a natural disaster with Walmart Stores, Tyson Foods and J.B. Hunt Transport Services leading the way.
Their work was only gaining steam as Hurricane Harvey began moving north and away from the Gulf Coast.
Walmart and the Walmart Foundation announced last week that they would provide $1 million to organizations helping in response to Hurricane Harvey, and that was just the beginning. The company and foundation announced on Wednesday that they’d provide up to $20 million toward Hurricane Harvey relief and recovery.
