"Thanks to the generosity of the Wal-Mart Foundation, we will increase our capacity to serve people in the rural Alabama counties and to be there to respond after a disaster, whether it is a house fire or a hurricane," says Leisle Mims, Chapter Executive Director at the Alabama Gulf Coast Chapter. The Alabama Gulf Coast Regional Counties are receiving a $76,000 grant from the Wal-Mart Foundation to strengthen disaster response capabilities in what is a highly disaster prone region.
