Target Ending Their Take Charge of Education Donation Program – TwinCitiesMoms.com

The last thing this PTC mom wanted to hear on the radio as I parked at school for pickup this afternoon was this news. Target is ending their, "Take Charge of Education" donation program where a percentage of sales put on customers' RedCards (debit or credit) is donated to local schools. For many schools in the Twin Cities, this will result in a significant loss of fundraising income that many districts use for technology purchases, books, supplies, playground equipment and other necessary purchases. Target will instead be focusing their donations on the categories of, "health and wellness" instead of education but says that they will continue to donate money to the same communities and at the same percentage as the previous program. The only thing that will change will be the beneficiaries. Considering some school districts are realizing fundraising returns of $100,000 or more from the Target program, this will cause many schools to have to seek out new fundraisin…

Target Testing Grocery Delivery in the Twin Cities – TwinCitiesMoms.com

Alright moms, hang on to your shopping bags! Big news about the often-talked about Target grocery delivery service is finally available! Starting on Tuesday, Target will test grocery delivery here in the Twin Cities! Complete details about how it will work aren't available yet, but Target's goal is to deliver perishables and household goods to homes in St. Louis Park, Edina, Hopkins, Richfield and the Dinkytown Uptown and Downtown portions of Minneapolis in about an hour! They'll tie into a service called Instacart to get the job done. Yet another reason to love living in the Twin Cities! Having Target based here gives us first crack at so many new offerings! The service will have a cost, as we'd expect. If you want your groceries in two hours, there will be a $3.99 charge and a one hour delivery window will cost $5.99. For both delivery options, a minimum order of $35 is required. We understand that Target wants to compete in the grocery delivery game, but this s…

Twin Cities Moms Ages & Stages Clubs – TwinCitiesMoms.com

We have a Toddlers Club, Preschoolers Club, Early Elementary Club and Tweens Club. If there's enough interest we'll also create a Teens Club. If you have kids in any of these age groups, please join as many as apply! You'll be able to share and ask for advice fom other moms in the exact stage you're in with your kids, plan meetups and get-togethers and generally support one another as you move through the same stages together! We also need volunteer admins for each of these clubs, so if you're interested in participating and having an active role with Twin Cities Moms and helping to guide the conversations a bit, we'd love to have you!
