[vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8″][vc_column_text el_class=”delta drop-caps”]In a unique collaboration, two corporations in the retail industry have partnered with World Vision to help support its growing Knit for Kids program.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Specialty retailer A.C. Moore Arts and Crafts store and Premier Yarns — an international manufacturer and distributor of high-quality yarns — joined forces in the summer of 2014 to offer corporate resources to support World Vision’s efforts to bring warm clothing to children in need.<\/p>\n

The partnership is helping both companies give back while appealing to their customers’ interests and desire to make a difference.<\/p>\n

In 2014, Premier Yarns created an entire line of yarn and patterns for Knit for Kids. The yarn is sold at A.C. Moore’s 140 stores in the eastern United States — and proceeds are helping to facilitate the distribution of Knit for Kids items around the world. In addition, A.C. Moore is now a collection center for knitted items, allowing volunteers to save on postage.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-offset-2 vc_col-md-8″][vc_custom_heading text=”Images: Knit for Kids brings joy to children in need” font_container=”tag:h2|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column offset=”vc_col-md-offset-3 vc_col-md-6″]
