Women's History Month
Women’s History Month is a celebration of women’s contributions to history, culture, and society and has been observed annually in the month of March in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and other nations around the world.
The National Women’s History Alliance designates a yearly theme for Women's History Month. For example, the 2022 theme was "Women Providing Healing, Promoting Hope." This theme is "both a tribute to the ceaseless work of caregivers and frontline workers during this ongoing pandemic and also a recognition of the thousands of ways that women of all cultures have provided both healing and hope throughout history."

You can view available kits, including an Essential Workers Gratitude Kit and Women's Care Kit, and learn how to order some for your team.
