A little googling would help. From:http://target.com/target_group/community_giving/partnerships.jhtml


Target has partnered with the American Red Cross for over a decade on disaster relief, most recently in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As part of the relief effort, Target has announced a $1.5 million donation to the Red Cross, with $500,000 going for immediate relief efforts for Hurricane Katrina, and an additional $1 million for ongoing disaster relief and preparedness.

In addition to cash contributions, Target is offering much-needed real estate in Louisiana to the Red Cross to establish a central command center supporting the most heavily impacted areas of the storm.

OK, so Celine Dion has donated almost as much, but it's a lot more than I can share.

They've partnered with the RC....wonder if that's why the bell ringers weren't allowed at Target.

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.
