Times of India - India · india

Two Atlanta friends, Jack Faught and Calder Johnson, started selling Christmas trees from a pickup truck in 2015 to fund their college expenses. Their seasonal venture has since expanded to seven locations, selling thousands of trees annually. The business has donated over $230,000 to community causes, with a significant portion supporting college scholarships for needy students. This initiative has also created seasonal jobs and supported local youth programs, transforming a college side hustle into a community-focused enterprise.
