While our founder was away at college, his mother found a new hobby: sending care packages to him at the dorm. It was an expensive endeavor for her to order them from prominent care package companies, and it was a hassle, too! Not only was getting to the right dorm address difficult for these companies, but the contents of their boxes left something to be desired — after all, who wants rotten fruit? Our founder always thanked his mother for these packages, but after the fruit incident, he told her he would be OK without receiving these special gift boxes anymore. After mulling it over, he found a solution for college care boxes that make it easy for parents to send what students actually want. Thus, My College Crate was born.
