Target and Chicago Food Bank

Having the luxury of living in the beautiful city of Chicago and living right down the street from the Lincoln Park Target Superstore, I am always in the know of new events and have recently heard that the Chicago Food Bank and Lincoln Park Superstore are teaming up for a food drive and scavenger hunt.

Apparently, the reason for this event is to promote the new Target Superstore GPS Systems. According to the Target website, Target Superstores across the nation will be eligible for a Target Superstore GPS for their shopping carts. Each GPS will act as a navigator and inventory checker for Target products as well as being specifically designed and frequently updated for that specific superstore.

I am incredibly excited for this new product and it will be available in select Superstores after Thanksgiving. I heard from a very reputable source that the Lincoln Park location will be receiving these GPS systems. And when every GPS system is activated until January 1, 2015, $1 will go to the Chicago Food Bank.

I know I will definitely be interested in participating in the charitable event that Target will be hosting on November 25, 2014 at 11:00 a.m. I am excited to incorporate my love of charity in a fun way that I know my kids and husband will also enjoy. Since hearing about this event I was thinking of some other things I can do to help support this cause that Target and the Chicago Food Bank are promoting.

1. Attend the Target and Food Bank Event: It hit me right when I read about this event, the first thing that I can do to support this cause is to participate in the event itself. I am also planning on telling friends, family, and neighbors about this great way to throw your self into the world of fun charitable events.

2. Learn more about the Chicago Food Bank: Although Target has been doing a fantastic job educating consumers and spreading the word about this event, I will consider doing more research on my own to find out more about what I can do to help and support this cause. Maybe Target will host more of these events in the future?

3. Tell other about this event: No explanation necessary. One thing that I can do to maximize the efforts and support that will be needed for this event is to promote it on my own. I don’t have to be a Target or Food Bank employee to support this event, I can be a good citizen and do my part by spreading awareness in the neighborhood.

4. Volunteer: Last but not least, I can contribute most of my time and efforts by volunteering with my family. The “hands on approach” is probably the most affective and rewarding experience.

If you are going to this event or have any other ideas to add to this list please comment below!


Warm regards,

Wendy
