Fiskars donates scissors, rulers and protractors to school supply drives across the country.
Fiskars, the world’s number one scissors brand, continues to make a difference in communities across the United States. The company recently donated scissors, protractors and rulers to nearly a dozen school supply drives throughout the country.
The Fiskars supplies were sent to organizations including the Kids Wish Network, For the Kid in All of Us, Inc., Hopelink, and the Salvation Army. Due to the tough economic times, many families are looking for help in getting school supplies, including quality Fiskars scissors, for their children. Thanks to Fiskars’ recent donation, countless children will return to school with the scissors they need to be successful in the classroom.
“Fiskars is committed to giving back to the community whenever we can,” said Paul Tonnesen, president of Fiskars. “Returning to school with the right tools is crucial for helping ensure students succeed, and Fiskars is honored to be able to help so many children this year.”
