Target, The Salvation Army and
local law enforcement professionals are helping 2,000 kids get ready to
go back to school nationwide.
This August, less fortunate students in grades K-6 will be
escorted to a nearby Target and allowed to purchase $100 worth of brand new school supplies using gift
cards that Target donated to The Salvation Army. The children were invited to
participate by Salvation Army personnel coordinating the events and will be
chaperoned by members of local law enforcement who will aid them in their
purchase decisions.
While The Salvation Army is engaged in back-to-school efforts across the country, this collaboration with Target
is one-of-a-kind. The Target Shopping Spree will take place on August 11 and a
post-event update will follow to share the beauty of what is possible when
communities collaborate for the good of their children.
The Salvation Army applauds law enforcement for their
guidance to America’s youth and is very grateful to Target for its
generosity and support in making a difference in the lives of so many children
through The Salvation Army’s programs and support services.
