Support Maia and Naima's Sweet Business Dream

Hello! We are Maia and Naima and we are looking to start a small business selling freeze dried candy and treats. We aim to learn how to become young entrepreneurs through freeze drying, packaging and selling freeze dried sweets throughout our community. This is an opportunity to branch out and practice social skills and money management at a young age.

With freeze dried sweets growing in popularity among young people, we think we’re really onto something with this business idea. We’ve done a lot of research, and quickly discovered an obstacle to our plan. It turns out freeze dryers are not cheap. In fact, they’re really expensive! The upfront cost of starting this small business is pretty big. That said, once the freeze dryer is purchased, materials for production are low making for a sizeable profit margin.

Extra Incentive: We will give a complimentary bag of freeze dried candy to anyone who donates $50 or more.
