Help The Melt Masters Recover From Food Truck Burglary

Hello everyone,

We are The Melt Masters — a student-owned and operated food truck proudly serving the Columbia, Missouri community.

This past weekend, our food truck was broken into, vandalized, and burglarized. What happened has been devastating, especially in a community we are honored and proud to be a part of. As a small business run by students, setbacks like these have a real and lasting impact.

The four of us built this business from the ground up — spending an entire summer fixing, designing, and pouring our hearts into making this food truck our own. It’s more than just a truck; it’s a dream we turned into reality with hard work, determination, and passion for bringing something special to our fellow students and neighbors.

This act of burglary has been a heartbreaking setback, but it will not define us.

We’re reaching out to our friends, family, and the incredible Columbia community for support as we work to recover what was lost and damaged, so we can get back to doing what we love — serving up delicious food and building connections.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help us repair, rebuild, and move forward. Your support means more than you know, and we promise it will not go unnoticed.

Thank you to everyone who has believed in us and our vision.

This is not the end of The Melt Masters — we are determined to come back stronger and better than ever.

With gratitude,

The Melt Masters Team
