Target Community News

Times are now difficult for many, and this includes Target, Inc.  We experienced a 2% cut in state funding which went into effect July 1st, 2009.  We are expecting another significant cut in funding from both the state government and from the Carroll County government by July 1st, 2010.

Everyone here at Target, Inc. is looking at ways to tighten our belts.  There were no salary increases for our employees this fiscal year, and this will hold true again in the next fiscal year.  We have looked at our budget, item by item, and cut many expenditures not directly related to the care of our clients.  We continue to be diligent in making sure that donations we receive make a positive, strong impact in the lives of the individuals with developmental disabilities that we are honored and privileged to serve.
