The people, purpose, and promise behind Special Vending.
Purpose & Promise
Our Mission
Inspired by a personal connection to autism, Special Vending aims to provide vocational support—both financial and therapeutic—to the autistic community. A portion of our profits are donated to autism-focused organizations such as the Ernie Els Foundation, Love Serving Autism, and the Palm Beach School for Autism. By choosing Special Vending, clients not only receive quality vending services but also contribute to a more inclusive and compassionate world.
Our Vision
To pioneer a modern business landscape where commercial spaces foster social change. We envision a future where every vending machine serves as a vessel for community inclusion, empowering all adults to achieve meaningful career independence.
meet our founder
Inspired by my brother, I wanted to establish ways for people within the autism community to develop lifelong skills. I graduated from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University where I explored interests in business and entrepreneurship that have helped me grow Special Vending since it opened in 2022. When I’m not working, I enjoy watching sports, and hanging out with family and friends.
