Topic: What are they thinking of
Target, announced they would not let Salvation Army Bell Ringers solicit funds outside of their stores during this Christmas Season.
To those of us with childhood memories of lean Christmasses when a parent was laid off, and the Salvation Army provided a basket, and the few toys they brought as the only presents under the tree.
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!
Stores make 1/4 of their income during the Christmas Season, the Salvation Army raises almost 80% of their funds during this season. With target playing the Grinch I say let them keep their products their sales, and see how much money they lose because of their arbitrary policy. The Salvation Army feeds thousands of families during the Christmas season, and shelters many more thousands of homeless people throughout the year. I am more than OUTRAGED I have notified Target that I will not be spending any of my money at their stores, and notified my email list of their new policies, and sent Targets Email address to them, Guest.Relations@Target.com knowing that many would be as outraged as I am!I will even go one step further, until their policy is changed, I will notify every TV Station that runs their Advertisements during this holiday season, that I will boycott their TV stations for running TARGET Ads.
If you are as angry as I am about this copy thier email address drop them an email. All you have to put is that you are angry for not allowing the Salvation Army Bell Ringers to collect funds in front of their stores. Remember this is a season for giving. Jesus gave the ultimate, and we are celebrating Christmas in honor of HIM. There is no other reason for the season, remember all of those who are less fortunate than you are this season. Also remember the corporations who think that they can make money on the season while acting as a GRINCH to charities who try to make someone elses life a little better. http://www.indystar.com/articles/2/183954-6622-009.htmlTARGET IS OWNED BY MARSHALL FIELDS
