JOANN Fabrics and National 4-H Council are partnering to bring more hands-on 4-H programs to youth in local communities across the nation. Just in time for holiday crafting and gift-giving, the 4-H community and JOANN customers can save money while "shopping with purpose" with the free 4-H Reward Card.  The new 4-H Reward Card gives JOANN shoppers 15% off their total in-store and online purchases every day, and gives a minimum of 2.5% of every eligible transactions as a donation to 4-H.

Also, JOANN will have a Paper Clover campaign in February where proceeds will go to National 4-H Council and to NYS 4-H Foundation.  Plus customers who purchase a $4 Paper Clover will receive a coupon for $4 off their next purchase.  There is also a $1 dollar edition of the Paper Clover.
