Local Merchant Steps Up to Help Families in Need
November 18, 2009
(Ottawa, ON)
The two Yarn Forward & Sew-On Ottawa outlets have stepped up
to help families in need this holiday season. “Yarn Forward decided
to support Christmas Exchange for the help they provide to the less fortunate
in our community at Christmas time,” stated Chantal West, Manager of
the Yarn Forward and Sew-On, Bank street location.
Both the Kanata location
on Hazeldean and the Bank St. store are offering a discount of 10%
on sewing and knitting supplies and 5% on sewing machines and sergers until
December 11. The company will then donate an amount equal to the customer
savings to Christmas Exchange to help families in need this holiday season. “We
are extremely grateful to Yarn Forward for initiating this original idea to
raise funds this year,” said
Marilyn Matheson, Executive Director of Christmas Exchange. “Last year
Christmas Exchange provided food assistance to over 25,000 people in 9,200
households, including 11,000 children and 2,200 seniors. This year we expect
the demand to be much higher.”
