Polartec supports single mothers

29/10/2010
Performance fabric manufacturer Polartec has announced its support of a Boston-based social venture called Moms and Jobs (MoJo), which aims to provide sustainable employment opportunities, childcare, and career development for single mothers in the apparel manufacturing sector.

“Polartec has been very generous with its support of MoJo,” said co-founder Darr Alley on announcing the development. “Polartec is providing us with its premium fabrics so our staff can make the highest quality products. Polartec also uses recycled plastic bottles to make many of its fabrics, and MoJo is thrilled to be able to simultaneously help single moms and be environmentally friendly.”

Polartec provides discounted rates on its fabric for MoJo to use in its product line of apparel and logo-wear. MoJo employs a full staff of single mothers and the proceeds from MoJo product purchases are dedicated to providing free childcare, higher than average wages, healthcare, and educational opportunities for MoJo employees.

“MoJo is creating jobs for an underserved demographic in a time when the US economy needs help the most,” said Polartec president, Andy Vecchione. “We're proud to lend our support.”
