Here at The Baltimore Station, we are proud to announce we have been chosen as a featured non-profit for the Target Circle campaign! What does this mean exactly? Well to start, it means Target’s Cause Team believes in our mission as much as we do and believes that the work we are doing as an organization is impactful to our community. But it also means that our supporters, you, can give back in a way that costs you nothing and takes about 60 seconds!

What is Target Circle?

Target Circle is a rewards program created for everyday Target shoppers. The more you shop, the more rewards you get back. But it also allows you to connect with non-profits in your community. Target Circle gives you votes on every purchase you make so you can have a say in how Target gives back to the community. Each quarter, Target puts out a new list of local non-profit organizations to vote on based on where your home location is set to. So, if you are here in Maryland, you know the list is filled with organizations that all give back to the Maryland community.

How does Target Circle give back to The Baltimore Station?

Target’s commitment to serving the communities where they operate goes way back… all the way back to 1946. They keep that promise alive through their dedication to serving new generations of families today.

Part of being a good neighbor is supporting communities through local giving and Target wants to invite guests to guide their giving as part of the Target experience. So now through March 31st, you can log into your Target Circle app and send votes to The Baltimore Station as your chosen non-profit. As each voting period wraps, Target awards grants to the nonprofits based on the percentage of votes they receive.

Every vote we get correlates to a greater donation to our organization. That means if you have accumulated 20 votes through your everyday shopping, we could be 20 votes closer to a donation for essential needs to The Station.
