Jo-Ann offers vets discount

Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores has reinforced its support of the military by introducing an everyday 10 percent discount for all past or present members of the armed forces and their families.



The nation’s leading fabric and craft specialty retailer with 850 stores said all military members, past or present, and their families qualify for the 10 percent everyday discount. To receive the discount, customers must provide proof of military service or military dependent ID upon checkout. The discount is valid in-store only.



“Jo-Ann has a great respect for the military and their families, and we have always been proud to support them through various corporate giving initiatives and exclusive sales events,” said Beth Shivak, manager, corporate giving at Jo-Ann. “This new everyday military discount reaffirms our thankfulness for those who have served or are currently serving around the world as well as their families.”



Earlier this year, Jo-Ann made a commitment to the National Military Family Association (NMFA) in conjunction with the company’s charitable tenets. In December, Jo-Ann hosted a Make It-Give It at all stores nationwide to support the partnership with the NMFA. Through the Make It-Give It, customers had the opportunity to craft greeting cards to be delivered to military members and families through the NMFA’s network. The goal was to create more than 125,000 cards to help bring joy to the military families NMFA supports year-round.
