JOANN stores to offer Valentine’s version of the Paper Clover to support Michigan 4-H

Michigan 4-H and JOANN Fabrics stores want to see more Michigan kids learning by doing, creating and making. Thousands of local 4-H members, staff, volunteers and supporters will join with JOANN customers to ensure more kids get that chance through a new Paper Clover campaign to bring hands-on 4-H programs to Michigan.

The Paper Clover campaign will take place in 865 JOANN Fabrics stores nationwide, including the 43 stores in Michigan. Now extended through March 31, 2018 supporters will have a chance to share their hearts and show their love for 4-H by purchasing $1 and $4 Paper Clovers to equip Michigan 4-H with resources to reach more kids in need.

Proceeds from the Paper Clover campaign will support Michigan 4-H programs. Each Paper Clover will include instructions for a special Valentine’s Day craft idea that customers can create to share with someone special. With the $4 Paper Clover, customers will also receive a coupon for $4 off their next purchase.

In-store event

On Feb. 3, local 4-H’ers will also partner with their local JOANN stores to hand-make and deliver custom Valentine’s Day cards to local charities or organizations.

Studies show that many students lose their natural love of learning somewhere between kindergarten and their senior year of high school. When more Michigan youth have access to local 4-H programming, they will participate in hands-on projects where they can design, create and make for themselves. These experiences are proven to rekindle a love of learning and produce a variety of benefits – from strengthening their creativity and imaginative thinking to improving their motor skills, coordination and self-esteem.
