[ ] Box is... a fresh initiative that transforms recycled shipping containers into affordable urban spaces for creativity, community building and empowerment. [ ] Box addresses the social disparity and lot vacancy in Washington DC’s underserved areas.

All proceeds will be used to...take [ ] Box to the next stage of development by placing a [ ] Box project in the Shaw/Ledroit/Cardozo neighborhood. The proceeds will first be used to purchase a shipping container and implement the initial alterations. It will allow for the community to experience the benefits and offerings of [ ] Box. It will grow over time through continual development to ultimately reach its full capacity and potential in meeting the social needs of the communities in which it serves.
We hope you can join us! Please pass this invite along to your friends, colleagues and family!
