WFH Care Package

Hey @tayrob5 , this looks cool but I noticed your description says a portion of the profits will be donated to SF non-profits. It isn't specified what that portion is, and more importantly, why not donate all the profits instead? At a time like this, profiting from a pandemic does not seem like the right thing to do. As much as there's a good sentiment behind this, this looks and feels like a way to make a quick buck while the world is suffering through a pandemic.

Cool idea but the actual content in the package is not something that i would send my 73 employees. These Items make no sense: Candy bar = Stay Home & Get Fat Small snack = Stay Home & Get Fat Notebook and pen = Pointless in this age $10 gift card to a food delivery provider ( I would like to know which food delivery place is going to bring me food for under $10? Delivery Fee/ Service Fee/ Tip is almost $10. ) --- Maybe replace these items with something else OR.... Give them more $ on gift card & remove the junk items. or to just think of it, i will just add $50 extra on their pay & send a nice video email.

Based in the heart of San Francisco, we are a couple who have been working from home due to the implications of COVID-19 since early March. An increasing amount of cities around the country have ordered people to "stay home except for essential needs". Although working from home honors the flexibility that employees have earned through consistent hard work, many are facing difficulties adjusting to the drastic change of isolation and fear of the unknown. We have certainly felt this, and many of our colleagues across industries have echoed similar sentiments. We want to do something small to turn the negative, fearful dialogue around. Our solution is to send small care packages to our co-workers and team members, as a quick, easy way to share positive encouragement, while we are practicing social distancing. After receiving overwhelming amounts of validation and support, we have created this site to allow people across the country to send boxes to their WFH employees and co-workers, showing them that they care, too. We do not underestimate the impact that a small token of gratitude like a care package can make. We hope that WFH Care Packages will not only boost the morale of your team during these unprecedented times, but also reinforce that employees are more than the work they do; they are the spirits that power our companies and our world to reach new heights. A portion of the proceeds will go towards financially supporting San Francisco non-profits, such as food banks and elderly care, aimed to alleviate the impacts of COVID-19 in our community.

Very cool! Have you decided which charities you will be supporting?

Love this, truly wonderful, a little goes a long way. Curious if you’ve thought about how to get supplies as more and more businesses shut down?

Congrats on the launch, Taylor! Not what I typically see on Product Hunt, but it’s a refreshing idea 🎉

Not sure how many individual managers will use this, but it seems like a no-brainer for companies. Curious, do you let companies customize what goes in the care package?
