An honor box is exactly what it sounds like — a small, unattended box stocked with little treasures, run entirely on trust to honor a cause. We partner with ToyboxHQ to bring these boxes to life — they supply the boxes and the collectible ZooPals animal figures that fill them. A portion of every purchase is donated to cancer research.

We're two local women who built Vend & Snap from the ground up, and honesty is at the center of everything we do. We've always wanted to be in a position to donate to causes we care deeply about, but haven't always had the means to do so — and starting this business was our way of changing that. As we grow, we're working to cover our start up costs before our founders begin making charitable donations of their own.
We're proud to say we've hit that milestone! Starting in May 2026, a portion of every collection goes directly to various cancer research organizations. Thank you for being part of this journey.

Giving back has been part of our vision from the very beginning. While ToyboxHQ donates a portion of proceeds to Breast Cancer Research through their own program, Vend & Snap founders also donate direct contributions to charities because this cause is deeply personal to us. Cancer has touched our lives through friends and family, and we started this business knowing that one day it would be a catalyst for something bigger than vending and claw machine operations.
With every purchase, you get to pick a ZooPal figure to take home with you! A portion of those funds go towards operational costs — keeping the boxes stocked, maintained, and growing across Southern California. The rest go towards direct charitable donations.
Yes — in a few ways! First, a portion of every Honor Box's startup costs include a donation to Breast Cancer Research.
Second, Vend & Snap founders will begin making direct contributions to cancer research organizations as an added layer of committment. As a new small business, we committed to covering our startup and operational costs first before we could give back on our own so that we can invest in this effort in the long run.
We're proud to say we hit that milestone! This is just the beginning, and we can't wait to watch our communal contributions grow.
We get it — honor boxes can be easy to be skeptical about, but we hope to demystify that perception. We will soon be adding donation receipts to our website so you can see where your contributions are helping to support. Also, if giving back to cancer research is something close to your heart, we'd encourage you to donate directly to any cancer organization that means something to you.
Our boxes are placed at local, hardworking businesses across Orange County — cafés, shops, restaurants, and more. If you'd like to host a box at your business, visit our Partner With Us page.
Yes! Most of our boxes include a QR code linking to Venmo. We want paying to be as easy as possible — however you're most comfortable.
