Branches has been approached by Target to be one of the nonprofits featured as an @circle participant this quarter. That means if you've ever had a Target account or shopped there, you may have votes you can cast waiting in your account. Even if you haven't shopped there in a while, you can follow these steps to see how many votes you have and cast them for Branches Domestic Violence Shelter. At the end of the quarter, we'll be awarded funding based on my how many votes we receive through this process.
