A new production facility is popping up multi-flavored popcorn and employing those on the autism spectrum, allowing them to gain skills and develop pride and love for their work.
Kernel by kernel, the popcorn is a labor of love by some pretty amazing individuals, doing a job they absolutely love."The best part, I think, is getting the opportunity to learn new skills," worker Ethan Brunton said.New skills the newly hired, talented and capable young men, who happen to be on the autism spectrum, take pride in, learning the ropes in creating handmade gourmet popcorn at their new production facility in South Philly.
"Popcorn for the People is a neuro diverse nonprofit employing autistic and differently-abled adults and they are pumping out different flavors. At least 1,000 bags a day are expected to come out of this production facility in South Philly."My favorite is just being a part of something with other people and that you get to be part of something that’s bigger than you," Brunton added. A big drive for Popcorn for the People is to employ those in the autism community.
