Has anyone every heard of a company that provides free kits for teaching kids to knit?

Question

I work in a small, low income rural school and would like to teach interested kids to knit.I even have some other ladies rounded up to help me. I thought I saw something on TV about a company that provided free kits: with a book, some yarn and some needles. But I didn't write it down and now I can't find anything about it. I thought it was a yarn company, like Lion brand or something but no luck. Any help would be appreciated!!

Have you tried calling one of the companies who makes the kits? I would call, let them know your situation and see what they can do. I work for a non-profit organization and we get free food all the time for our fundraisers just by calling the store/manufacturer (Boye is a popular company, they are the one I'd think of) and letting them know we need it. 

Also, if Walmart sells the kits in question, they have a form you can fill out requesting a donation, then you can use the donation to buy your kits, yarn, etc. I have the feeling it would be cheaper to buy a learning to knit book, then some needles and yarn.

I know Barnes and Noble sells those kits and they include a book, yarn, and the needle. Also, yoiu might be able to receive them as a kit at Micheal`s Arts, Crafts or Carol's School Supplies, or AC Moore..
