We know what happened in our own home when we found a different way for Dru to enjoy something he otherwise wouldn’t eat.
Candilyn & Charaun
Dru's mom & godmom , both went on to serve in the U.S. Navy, with Candilyn serving 20 years before retiring and Charaun serving 10.
we had an idea
What if we could turn the fruits and vegetables he wouldn’t eat into something he’d actually enjoy drinking?
Dru Juice was born
Our other children started drinking them. Then family and friends. Before long, adults were asking, “Can I order some of Dru’s juice?”
What began as an idea to help someone we love has grown into a Black women-owned, veteran-owned, family-built business that lets us continue doing what has come naturally to us since childhood: creating something together and figuring out how to make it happen.
Made for Dru. Built by Family. Created With Purpose.
Dru Juice started with a problem close to our hearts.
Dru, Charaun’s son and Candilyn’s godson, is on the autism spectrum and has always been extremely particular about food. Fruits and vegetables were a hard no, and we started worrying about how limited his food choices had become.
But there were two things Dru never seemed to mind: water and juice.
So we had an idea. And just like that, Dru Juice was born.
