NFL star Khalil Mack donated $80,000 to pay off all active holiday layaway accounts at his hometown Walmart ahead of this year's holiday season.

The Walmart in Fort Pierce, Fla., announced earlier this month that Mack made a donation to the retail chain to wipe out all customer debt at the store. The donation, which was made through Mack's charity, the Khalil Mack Foundation, helped about 300 to 350 customers, a Walmart spokesperson told The Chicago Tribune.

"We have some wonderful News! If you have an active Holiday Layaway account at your local Ft. Pierce Wal-Mart, you account has been paid off!" the retailer said in a Facebook post.
