Container Store Marks Valentine's Day With Employee Fund Launch

The Container Store is marking Valentine's Day with the launch of its Employee First Fund — an employee assistance fund that will provide grants to employees experiencing unforeseen emergencies, major medical situations, catastrophic events or other challenges in life that they're not financially prepared to handle. The Container Store is contributing $100,000 to kick off the fund, and after that, employees and other stakeholders have the opportunity to make donations. The fund is part of the retailer's annual National We Love Our Employees Day, a day it created five years ago.
