These companies, along with 48 additional organizations across 47 states, helped pack and distribute more than 160,000 Hope Kits and Snack Packs this year. Making this possible were more than 12,000 corporate volunteers! Read the PRESS RELEASE.
With food insecurity and homelessness a challenge across the country, MATTERbox Snack Packs and Hope Kits provide an immediate, impactful way to help those in need. Each snack pack contains beneficial food, while each Hope Kit includes essential hygiene and sanitary items. Both packs are also accompanied by a heartfelt “You Matter” note—handwritten by the volunteer who packed it—adding a personal touch that reminds recipients, from children in after-school programs to unhoused adults, that they are not alone and that they truly matter.
To all companies that joined MATTERbox packing events this year, thank you for investing your time and energy to strengthen your communities. Your involvement has truly touched lives, and we’re excited to carry this impact forward with you into 2026 and the years ahead!
