Target Gives Back

Many of you are familiar with the retail super store Target. With over 1,700 stores nationwide located in 49 different states Target is committed to giving consumers the best shopping experience and driving that fast, fun, and friendly attitude. Although many of you are familiar with the store Target, what many people are not aware of is what exactly this multi-million dollar corporation gives back to the community on a weekly basis. Target gives 5% of its income to needy communities, organizations and charities. This number comes out to approximately $3 million per week. Whether it be through education, arts and culture, social services, grants, crisis relief and many more. Target volunteers are always looking to benefit not only the community, but the lives of the individuals within these less fortunate areas as well.

Over the next couple of weeks take time to think about the places in which you are spending your money. Are these companies known for the philanthropy they do outside of the workplace? Target is an extremely well respected brand and will continue to change the way we as consumers view retail.
