Target has been a proud partner of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital since 1996.

 
 

Target is a dedicated partner of St. Jude, supporting its lifesaving mission in ways that go beyond traditional philanthropy. Through a shared commitment to families and communities, Target has helped create meaningful experiences for patients and their loved ones — both inside and outside the hospital.

From hosting special events to supporting critical programs, Target’s partnership is rooted in one simple but powerful idea: helping families feel supported, seen and cared for when they need it most.

Because of partners like Target, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food so they can focus on what matters most — helping their child live.

 
 
 
 
 

Target House: A home away from home for St. Jude families

When a child is undergoing treatment, families often travel far from home and stay for extended periods of time. Through its partnership with St. Jude, Target helped bring one of the most meaningful solutions to life: Target House, one of the long-term residential facilities at St. Jude.

Since opening its doors, Target House has provided long-term housing for families whose children are receiving treatment at St. Jude. More than just a place to stay, it offers a sense of comfort, stability and normalcy during an otherwise uncertain time.

At Target House, families can cook meals together, spend time in shared spaces and experience the small, everyday moments that make a place feel like home. It’s a space where children can laugh and play, and where caregivers can find community and support alongside others on a similar journey.
