The Container Store proudly celebrates the rich heritage, cultures and contributions of Americans with roots in Spain, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean. Spanning September 15 to October 15, this observance coincides with the Independence Day celebrations of several Latin American nations, including Mexico, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua.

Hispanic Heritage Month provides a meaningful opportunity to spotlight the diverse voices and experiences of Hispanic/Latino Americans, honoring their rich histories, journeys, and achievements. It also serves as a platform to highlight the profound cultural influences the Latino community has contributed to the United States. Whether in entertainment, sports, business, or science, Latinas and Latinos continue to enrich our society in countless ways.

Throughout the month, our Mosaic Employee Resource Group will host a series of events and experiences that pay tribute to Hispanic heritage. These initiatives include an educational keynote featuring a panel of internal and external senior leaders, a community service weekend focused on transforming spaces for a local partner, and newsletter spotlights showcasing Hispanic American employees and Brand Ambassadors.
