They all helped Target reach a major milestone.

Each year, Target team members donate their time to make communities safer, healthier and happier places for everyone. Together, through service, volunteers have honored our nation’s heroes, remodeled school libraries and cleaned up local parks.

Giving to communities is more than writing a check — Target also believes that donating time, talent and resources is equally as important as donating dollars.

In 2013 alone, Target set a company goal to reach 700,000 total volunteer hours. Team members from Minneapolis to Bangalore (and everywhere in between) not only met, but exceeded this goal – racking up more than one million hours of service!

As National Volunteer Week (April 6-12) kicks off, Target thanks team members and celebrity friends who gave time to causes they care about. Established in 1974, National Volunteer Week is all about inspiring folks to find fun and imaginative ways to create positive social change—something Target does all year.
