Target helps active military, veterans find service opportunities

MINNEAPOLIS Target announced that it has partnered with VolunteerMatch to help connect military veterans, active military, and their families with community and civic service opportunities across the country.

Available now, military families, veterans and supporters can visit www.VolunteerMatch.org to help connect with service organizations that are available nationwide. The VolunteerMatch home page features a link to its Advanced Search page where "Military Families & Veterans" has been added as a new Interest Area -- making it easy for visitors to find military-related volunteer offerings.

"At Target, we have a profound connection to this survey, as we are proud to count many veterans and military reservists among our 350,000 team members. I can't think of a better way to show our continued support to veterans and active soldiers serving in our Armed Forces than to listen and swiftly respond to their needs," said Laysha Ward, president of community relations for Target. "This online resource provides an easy way for veterans to find meaningful volunteer and service opportunities and make connections in their local community."
