Today on Women’s Equality Day, we’re reminiscing about Step Into Her, our very first women’s leadership conference. We had the privilege of hosting women in TCC from all around the country at our Store Support office in Fishers, IN. At this event, we packed female care kits for A Seat at the Table. This nonprofit helps minority women overcome barriers that limit access to leadership roles within corporations, government entities, entrepreneurship, and the community. Step Into Her was an amazing few days empowerment filled with opportunities for growth, encouragement, development, and philanthropy, so each attendee could take her leadership journey to the next level.
Thank you for making our 2025 backpack giveaway a success! On Sunday, July 27, our stores gave thousands of free backpacks to students around the country. Plus, we crowned our Stuff the Bus winner. During the month of June, five school finalists around the country competed to win a bus full of school supplies. The community that collected the most donations received a bus full of supplies, and all 5 finalists received the school supplies collected during their respective drive.
