A family owned local business.

Hi, I’m Max.

College Fund Vending is my business. I started it because I like learning how things work and I enjoy building something of my own.

With help from my parents, I am learning what it means to run a business. My mom owns a woman-owned business with more than 10 years of experience, and my dad works in real estate. They help guide me, but I am responsible for showing up, doing the work, and taking care of my machines and partner locations.

This business is not about making big money. It is about learning responsibility, work ethic, and how to build strong relationships. I am learning how business works, how to communicate clearly, and how to follow through on commitments.

College Fund Vending serves Columbia, Missouri and the surrounding areas. The money I earn goes toward saving for college and learning the basics of investing and financial responsibility, while supporting local businesses in the community.

Thanks for supporting a local, family-run business.
