Build a Box >
We are women-led here at Happy Box, so International Women’s Month is more than just a random moment on our calendars — it’s core to the culture of the business that we strive to maintain, year long! We ask you for this month, to join in with us on the ride.
We are deeply committed to supporting organizations that serve girls, women and other minority groups. So, in celebration of International Women's Month, we wanted to share just a few of the amazing women and girl-focused organizations we've supported over the past few years, in case you're looking to make an impact and donate too (which we hope you are!).
