Have you been to Hobby Lobby?

A lot of people come to our stores, especially around the holidays, for arts and crafts supplies, home accents and more. Our shelves are filled with picture frames, fabric, glue, beads, glitter, clay, ribbon, baskets, candle rings, table runners, wreaths…everything you might need to decorate your house and make gifts for Christmas.

We have more than 430 stores in 35 states, and I’m often asked how the company got started. The quick answer? With a six-hundred-dollar loan and a 300-square-foot retail space.

Actors Climb Mount Kilimanjaro

In an effort to raise awareness for the global water crisis, actors Emile Hirsch and Jessica Biel joined a group of individuals to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, which is Africa's highest peak.

As an introduction to the world's current clean water crisis (an estimated 1 billion citizens do not have access to clean water) the group of actors, activists, musicians and environmentalists spent a few days in a village in Tanzania, where they witnessed firsthand the hardships some people go through.
