JOANN Fabric Stores recently announced the winners in their Handmade Hero Awards program for both individuals and organizations. "We were inspired by the amazing stories of individuals and organizations making a difference in their communities using their hands, hearts and minds," the business posted on their website. "To celebrate those who use their hands, hearts & minds to make a difference-and to help them create even more, JOANN created the Handmade Heroes Award. From masks for first responders, to blankets for veterans and hats for hospital patients, Handmade Heroes are making our world a better place. Congratulations to our first winners. We can't wait to see what you do next! #createtogivewithjoann" Individual winners were selected on a first come, first served basis. Organization winners were selected by the JOANN Charitable Giving Committee. Individual winners will each receive a $100 JOANN gift card. Organization winners will each receive a $1,000 JOANN gift card. Stay tuned for future programs; organizers look forward to continuing to celebrate and support our Handmade Heroes. Nominators of individuals were notified by email that the person they had submitted to the Handmade Hero program had been selected as a winner. "We thank you again for your nomination and for celebrating Handmade Heroes with us! We are proud to have you as giving customers!" CONGRATULATIONS TO THE INDIVIDUAL WINNERS A.
