This stores manager and assistant managers were so amazing to support us with a gift basket valued at over 200 dollars worth of goods. We plan to break up this basket into smaller gift baskets so as not to break anyones bank during the holiday season. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If anyone shops at the Wal-mart Santan Super Center Store #2671 please stop by the customer service desk and thank the store manager Sonya Marquez, and assistant managers Irene Duarte, and Daniel for making such a generous donation.

Thank you for your support and happy holidays...</div><div class="">
