For many, the recent pandemic has made us evaluate life, our family time, and how we give back. We have been involved in giving back to the Congenital Heart Defect (CHD) community for over 8 years. Weather it be volunteering, donating, and most recently I (Kristi) was a team member for a Congenital Heart Defect focused charity which was faced the daunting task of converting all events to virtual for 2020, which created many challenges for the small charity.
We took a spur of the moment mini get-a-way to celebrate our 15th Anniversary. During this trip a new business concept came to us while our feet were in the sand on how can we continue to make a lasting impact for the CHD community knowing how the current pandemic has effected the charity we hold near and dear to our hearts. Virtually U-neek Boxes was born! We decided I would step away from my position at the charity and volunteer our time to the cause. We would build a business that not only gives back to the cause that we are passionate about, but a business that gives back to each non-profit we work with. Virtually U-neek Boxes not only could give back as a business but we could offer a service that assists charities and businesses to connect with their audience creating a U-neek connections in a virtual world that inspire and spark all the “feels”.
