Many families are faced with impossible choices when their budgets become tight. Rent or groceries? Medications or air conditioning? Clothes or school supplies? When families have limited resources, school supplies are often at the bottom of the list.
Through our Action Day initiative, presented by Target, we aim to level the playing field for local families, so kids have what they need to succeed in the classroom and beyond. Thank you to our Action Day partners who make this work possible.
Action Day 2025, presented by Target, would not have been possible without the support of our partners — including our Minnesota professional sports teams. A special shoutout to the Minnesota Wild for hosting the 2025 in-person event at the Saint Paul RiverCentre. Together, we helped send more than 60,000 local students back to class with essential school supplies. Thank you!
Thank you to the more than 130 nonprofit organizations and school districts who help distribute backpacks to students throughout the Twin Cities.
