Heroes and Helpers brings joy to families
Soldiers from the Idaho Army National Guard dashed into the Coeur d’Alene Target store Tuesday morning to escape the cold rain and wind while waiting for some special shoppers. Twelve local children from military families participated in the fifth annual Heroes and Helpers program that pairs National Guardsmen with a child to help them shop for free gifts for their family. Target’s jolly helpers (employees volunteering their time) were on hand to help in the process, from finding the right gift to wrapping them all up.
