Kevan
and Marsha Bennett of B&B's Costum T's in Alton, Illinois
came up with a brilliant idea that helps them and helps the missions
efforts of Joy of a Child. Each article of clothing with an embroidery
mistake that cannot be sold is donated to Joy of a Child and is
sent to help clothe those in need.
When Marsha and her husband Kevin attended a workshop with several
other embroidery company owners Marsha shared her suggestion with
them. The speaker for the workshop was Ginny Fineberg, owner of
Sandpiper Embroidery in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey.
Ginny also ended up being a columnist for Stitches Magazine, a
publication with over 70,000 subsribers worldwide! She took Marsha's
suggestion and wrote about it in her article. Within days of the
article being published, the UPS man started delivering boxes
of clothing to Joy of a Child from embroidery companies across
the U.S. that had read Ginnys article.
Joy of a Child would like to express their appreciation to Kevin
and Marsha Bennett, Ginny Fineberg, and all the embroidery companies
that have sent their embroidery mistakes to us. |
