Recently, many employees at The Container Store's Support Center and Manhattan Logistics locations participated in a fun event for the North Texas Food Bank. Different groups from across the company donated canned goods and used them to create fun sculptures that we call "canformations."
Several teams got together to enjoy tasty holiday treats and create fun structures out of the donated items. These structures included a giant heart (above), a Christmas tree, a set of Christmas lights, and even a classic New York City coffee cup. And most importantly, we ended up collecting over 2,250 lbs. of food to be sent to the food bank!
As we worked on these creative group projects, our team took some time to reflect on the things we are most thankful for, including what makes The Container Store a great place to work. We asked our employees one simple question: What are you thankful for as an employee of The Container Store?
Of all the responses received, the overwhelming majority indicated they are thankful for our people and culture. Jackie Harper, a 17-year veteran of The Container Store, said "I'm thankful for my colleagues. The strong team-centered culture where we're all invested in the company's success--as well as each other's--make our work incredibly rewarding."
But it wasn't only longtime employees who felt this way. Kelsey McFarland, who was hired less than one year ago, has already felt welcomed by the company's inclusive culture. "I am thankful to be surrounded by smart and kind people who make me want to go to work!" she gushed.
We at The Container Store are so thankful for the employees that make it such a wonderful place to work every day, and we wish both our employees and customers the very happiest of holidays!
