In order to create a nuturing positive learning atmosphere for students, they need to come to school prepared - clean, well-nourished and with a good night's sleep. In today's economy, these factors are more precarious than ever. However, Target is working with St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance to ensure more than 3,000 Arizona children are ready for their first week by providing essential supplies and food items.
Working with St. Mary's Food Bank Alliance and Pima County's Community Food Bank, Target will donate more than 3,000 back-to-school backpacks filled with school supplies, food items and new books to four schools throughout Maricopa and Pima counties. More than 150 Target team members will volunteer at the Food Bank helping to stuff all 3,040 backpacks, host events at the schools and deliver the backpacks, while the food banks will conduct outreach sessions as part of their "Hunger 101" program on hunger, poverty and healthy nutrition.
