Andrea Garrett creates candy for a cause in honor of her granddaughter born with a cleft lip

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) – Candy for a cause creates freeze-dried candies to sell at pop-ups, farmers’ markets and private parties. The organization is dedicated to helping families of children suffering from clefts and other birth defects.

Founder Andrea Garrett stopped by Morning Break to explain the freeze-drying process and why she wanted to do something for other families after her granddaughter was born with a cleft lip. Her granddaughter, Vayah, and Vayah’s mother, Marissa Bonta, joined the interview.
