An anonymous donor reportedly walked into a Walmart in Canton, Mississippi, this week and asked to pay off all items the store was holding for customers on layaway plans, WLBT reported.

Walmart, in turn, donated the extra cheer to two local toy drives and made an offering to Feed America, MagnoliaStateLive.com reported.

According to the mega-retailer, the store had about 330 layaway tickets with outstanding balances, and the good Samaritan’s donation took care of them all with a little cash to spare, the TV station reported.
