(AP) — Target Corp. said Thursday that it is donating $500,000 and more than a million meals to help those affected by Tuesday's earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti.

The retailer said it will make the monetary donation through the American Red Cross. Volunteers are working with students from Minneapolis-based The Fair School and nonprofit ImpactLives to make meals to send to Haiti, the company said.

Target shares rose 74 cents to $50.08 in afternoon trading.
