ST. GEORGE, Utah (ABC 4 News) – Walmart presented a $50,000 check to the Utah Food Bank as part of the "Fighting Hunger Together" Facebook campaign.

The campaign from the spring encouraged people to vote for an area of the country to receive a large grant.

In a press release, Walmart said over $1.4 million was donated to hunger relief in Utah since 2010.

A check presentation was made with Governor Gary Herbert in St. George.

What the Utah Food Bank failed to inform the public with the last one million donation WalMart made to them two years ago is that NONE of the money was allocated for food to feed the poor. Instead they used it to purchase vehicles and warehouse facilities. While the demand for food for the poor is ever growing the Utah Food Bank had the opportunity to give to the hungry. Instead they bought vehicles and warehouses. Explain that to me please. I no longer donate to them because of this.
