My wife is a manager at a Target in Panama City. She and her employees have been working at the local churches after their shift serving food. In addition to the 1.5 Million that the corporation donated, the local store donated thousands more to the local shelters and Red Cross. They also provided all the boxes used to pack and ship several semi-trailers full of water, diapers, food, etc. Last Monday my wife used her truck to transport 80 cases of water, donated by target, to the local shelter.

Target also is allowing all their employees from the flood areas to go to other target stores for employment, whether the store needed the additional employees or not. Target has also been identified as the US Company that does the most for local communities.

I knew more stories would come in. I don't like to see lazy uninformed bashing of decent corporate citizens. This post is an awful lot like the NEA WalMart boycott crap.

OK, so why did they kick out the Salvation Army bell ringers?

What your wife and fellow employees are doing is very commendable and charitable. But at the corporate level 1.5M is pittance compared to what Wal-Mart has contributed (15M). I still don't think it gets Target off the hook for booting The Salvation Army last year.
