College Care Package Companies (The Best One)

What happens when you take two Iowa State University engineering students that have a passion for entrepreneurship and charitable giving and leave them together in a room for long enough? Jery Crate happens. 

Even after being forced to move to different cities we managed to launch Jery Crate together. This is as much a testament to our friendship as it is to the unwavering dedication we have to our business and our customers. 

Jeremy is currently a senior at Iowa State majoring in Mechanical Engineering. Ryan graduated this year (2018) and is working as an engineer for Honeywell in Kansas City.

We hope you enjoy building care packages with Jery Crate as much as we enjoyed building this business together. Your purchases at Jery Crate help support us as well as fund our charitable giving to the Red Cross!

Thank You,

Jeremy and Ryan

Don't forget to build you care package today!

As a current Iowa State University student, here is my perspective on why you should send your child care packages.

You have finals next week and the stress is mounting. You can't remember the last time you got eight hours of sleep in a night. Then it happens. You get the notification. You have received a package. "I don't remember ordering a textbook" you think to yourself as you go pick up the package. Then you feel the rush of excitement as you realize that it is a care package from home. You run back to your overly cramped dorm room and tear the care package open. It feels just like Christmas morning! You quickly eat everything in sight as you haven't eaten anything today,except for that banana you stole from the school dining hall last week. 

Then your roommate start sniffing around your precious care package. You have to quickly decide which foods to hoard and which foods to share with your roommate. Your poor roommate doesn't have an awesome family that sends them care packages. Then two days later you realize you have already eaten a month's worth of snacks. Nothing compares to the sadness of having no food left in your room. There is nothing you can do now except stare longingly out the window awaiting your next care package. Mom, Dad you're the best. Please send more food... 

This post accurately depicts receiving a college care package in a nutshell.
