Curio

Thank you to PET ORPHANS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA for stopping by our LA office for some play during the workday! Through our Pet Adoption Program, we help give loving animals the fur-ever homes they deserve, covering all adoption fees for employees and providing a $250 stipend for supplies like food and toys.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we're happy to announce our new UNIDOS ERG. Last week, the group visited Shadows Pantry, distributing food to over 60 households and serving nearly 300 people in the Conejo Valley. Way to go, team!

We love an excuse to celebrate our people. In honor of Customer Service Appreciation Week, we held a special luncheon to express our immense gratitude for those who represent Munchkin as the most loved baby lifestyle brand in the world. These teammates provide excellent customer care by holding parents at the center of all we do. Our nearly 1.5 million+ 5-star reviews wouldn't be possible without them.
