Community EventsCommunity EventsWorld Vision worked with Target team members to stuff and distribute school supply-filled backpacks at a Back-to-School Carnival event benefiting children from local shelters in New York City’s South Bronx. Later, Target staff also assisted area teachers with selecting free classroom supplies from World Vision’s Teacher Resource Center. They experienced first-hand the impact of their corporate grants and how the teachers value receiving the much-needed supplies.
