Target gets 'Nice Twice' with holiday charity

MINNEAPOLIS As part of its commitment to support national nonprofit partners and the communities they serve, Target has expanded its exclusive holiday product collection, providing guests with a chance to help support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and The Salvation Army. With the purchase of each item in the Target "Nice Twice. Gifts for a Cause" holiday collection, funds will be directly donated to each organization.

"This year, as part of our ongoing commitment to community giving and support, we're offering an expanded holiday collection that benefits several special causes," said Laysha Ward, president of community relations for Target. "By purchasing items in the 'Nice Twice' collection, our guests help us give back by directly supporting nonprofit organizations and the people they serve, which we hope will make their holiday shopping more meaningful."

This year marks the fifth year that Target has been a major contributor and partner of the St. Jude Thanks and Giving campaign. Funds raised by the campaign support the life-saving mission of St. Jude to find cures for desperately-ill children in communities everywhere. Available exclusively at Target, a variety of gifts offered in this year's holiday collection will directly benefit St. Jude and even feature original artwork created by St. Jude patients and their families and friends.

The Target holiday collection also will feature a number of items that benefit The Salvation Army, with which Target also has a long-standing partnership.
