in our area, the target store was asked to donate money or items for care packages to the soldiers in iraq and afganistan. they refused
Have you checked this out for truth? There was a rumor similar to this going around a few years back and it was found to be bogus. If you are correct then this is very disappointing to say the least.
yeah it is true. the local american legion was involved and they confirmed.

If not mistaken individual stores just refer you to Corporate HQ where the ‘donations’ etc are handled.
Target, Walmart etal are to big to really ‘tick off’ a large group of potential customers and it probably is a lot cheaper to have one big donation rather than a bunch of mid sized ones from individual stores.
I know the big chain stores make you get permission to place Poppy Stands etc on Memorial and Veterans Day Week ends. Most of the time you have to go to Corporate for that also. Probably because it takes the ‘heat’ off the local manager when it comes to which group should be ‘allowed’ to solicit in front of the store.
