Stitch It
Stitch It is a family owned, national chain which offers complete
clothing alteration services at over 95 locations in North America. In
Canada, Stitch It is the only coast to coast national alteration
service. The company places a great emphasis on corporate social
responsibility and giving back to the local communities where shops are
based.
By working with CNIB, Stitch It and its team of associates will
ensure vision health and vision hope to all Canadians. With over 600
associates across 85 locations who come into contact with over one
million customers each year, Stitch It can drive home the message that
CNIB is here for all Canadians.
"This partnership is important to Stitch It because it speaks to our
Corporate Social Responsibility initiative and its mission to help our
associates and their relative communities. Additionally, the CNIB cause
gave us the opportunity to engage our associates through selling at
store level and volunteering at a community level. The end result is a
perfect fit, two National companies complementing each other - with
people, offices and stores wanting to help."
Alain Baird
Founder and President
CNIB values the ongoing support of our corporate partners. Stitch It
is part of a strong network of organizations committed to ensuring
Canadians who are blind or living with vision loss have the confidence,
skills and opportunities to fully participate in life and society. Like
CNIB, Stitch It is a national organization with significant presence at
the local level. Stitch It's support of CNIB has helped provide vital
programs and services for people who are blind or have vision loss in
local communities across Canada.
Stitch It started its relationship with CNIB in 2008 and I look forward to continue building this partnership in the future.
John M. Rafferty
President and CEO, CNIB
Stitch It has demonstrated a strong commitment to CNIB by donating 10
per cent of the proceeds of its product wall sales. Local money raised
will be channelled back into local CNIB services and programs to benefit
people within their own community.
