PARTNER SPOTLIGHT

Mr. Jose Vazquez | General Manager | Walmart #2257

We are delighted to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Mr. Jose Vazquez, the GM over at Walmart #2257, for being such a rockstar supporter of AAPOA! For the past three years, Mr. Vazquez’s generous $5000 donation has been our superhero, helping us put smiles on faces with holiday dinners during Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Thanks to Mr. Vazquez’s ongoing support, we’ll soon be able to provide backpacks for kids in need this upcoming school year!

Mr. Vazquez’s heart of gold perfectly embodies what AAPOA stands for: community spirit and giving back. We’re beyond thankful for his partnership and dedication to making our community a better place.

We commend Mr. Jose Vazquez for his outstanding commitment to giving back and his invaluable contributions to our community.
