Since our founding, Target has valued generosity — from our commitment to making style affordable for all, to our quest to create a shopping experience full of delightful discovery. But nothing demonstrates the generosity of Target more than the ways our 400,000-plus team members strengthen the communities we call home through supporting small businesses, serving nonprofits and staffing our stores.
