The Container Store Celebrates World Kindness Day in Partnership with KIND Snacks

Employees and Customers Encouraged to Share Kindness with Snacks and
#kindawesome Cards at Stores Nationwide

DALLAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Container Store (NYSE:TCS) is teaming up with KIND Snacks to
celebrate World Kindness Day today to promote spreading kindness through
KIND Snacks’ new #kindawesome program. Throughout the day, customers at
The Container Store’s locations nationwide will receive a KIND bar and a
#kindawesome card at checkout (while supplies last) detailing how to
recognize someone’s kind act.


“We’re so excited to be partnering with The Container Store as a
nationwide partner for the digital expansion of the #kindawesome
program,” said Dana Rosenberg, Director KIND Movement. “It’s a program
that empowers people to celebrate the acts of kindness happening all
around them, and our hope is that it can inspire everyone to spot the
kindness in their lives today and every day.”

The #kindawesome card provided to customers at checkout includes a web
address (howkindofyou.com)
with a unique code, enabling the person to recognize someone else’s kind
act via Facebook, email, Twitter or a text message. The person being
recognized then receives a notification or message from the sender
detailing that they are being celebrated for their kindness with a
#kindawesome package which includes two KIND bars and a #kindawesome
card to pass on to someone else. The individual being celebrated is then
prompted to redeem their gift as well as pay it forward by celebrating
someone else’s kind act.

“At The Container Store, we talk a lot about WAKE – like a boat’s wake.
It’s the idea that everything you do, and don’t do, affects others
around you so much more than you realize,” said Kip Tindell, Chairman
and CEO, The Container Store. “We always encourage our employees to be
aware of their wake, but we are thrilled to partner with KIND Snacks and
their #kindawesome program to give our customers an easy, ongoing way to
celebrate kindness and to use their wake in a positive way.”

Kindness Day originated on November 13, 1997 when a collection of
humanitarian groups came together to made a “Declaration of Kindness.”
Since then, Kindness Day has encouraged everyone to make a similar
declaration. Whether it is donating books, food or clothes to a local
charity, holding the door open for a stranger, giving someone a
compliment or just committing one small act of kindness for another – it
all counts.
