throughout the holiday season.

must-haves easily, providing industry-leading same-day fulfillment
services, packing and shipping orders, and more.

market where the retailer has stores or facilities.
- Target team members, including seasonal hires, also have access
to flexible scheduling, well-being benefits, team member discounts
and more.
- As in previous years, Target will continue to first work with
