BALTIMORE - Dec. 3, 2013 - PRLog -- The Mario Do Right Foundation is thrilled to announce a partnership with a local area Walmart for their annual “Fill the Truck for Local Kids” event. Christmas can be a very challenging time for some, especially underprivileged families and their children.  In effort to help those families on Tuesday December 10th at 6:00pm R&B singer and Baltimore native Mario will visit Walmart store #3507, located at 2701 Port Covington Drive, Baltimore Maryland 21230 for the annual “Fill the Truck for Local Kids” event. “I’m excited to work with Walmart to make sure the Baltimore area kids have a decent Christmas.  I’m also looking forward to expanding our foundation work nationally with partners such as this to positively affect even more lives,” says The Mario Do Right Foundation founder Mario Barrett.

The "Fill the Truck" event is open to anyone who would like to donate new toys and coats to children who are in need. Shoppers will receive a list of suggested gifts at the store to help “Fill the Truck.” The collection is expected to provide gifts to thousands of underprivileged families across the Baltimore community. “As we gather with friends and family to celebrate the holidays, it is important for us to remember our neighbors,” said Ervin Curtis, manager of the Walmart store #3507 Port Covington. “While working with Mario, his foundation, and our generous shoppers, we hope to provide for Baltimore area families bringing them more smiles on Christmas day.”
