CarePaks 101 is a small, mom-owned business based in Dayton, Ohio. What began years ago as a way to help recruiters stay connected with college interns has grown into something even more meaningful: care packages that help parents, families, and friends send love to students across the country.

The very first boxes went out to students at UT Austin (Hook ’em Horns!), and since then I’ve been honored to pack and ship hundreds of care packages - each one designed to brighten a student’s day and remind them of home.

As a military spouse and mom of three college students (two at Miami University and one at Saint Louis University), I know firsthand how important it is to stay connected when our kids leave home. That’s why I personally shop for, pack, and ship every CarePak - filling them with snacks students love, thoughtful touches, and always a handwritten note from home.

At CarePaks 101, we make sending something meaningful simple and stress-free. I’ll handle the shopping, packing, and shipping so you can focus on what matters most: sending love. 💌
