As their information states, they are a for-profit business “selling care packages.” They are transient merchants, very similar to the magazine sales organizations the Wayzata Police Department has encountered, staying at local hotels and being dropped off in neighborhoods by van.
As with any for-profit sales organization, "Freedom United Sales" are required to obtain a permit from the city of Wayzata prior to selling door to door. They have not done so.
