The Little Kernel donates to Generation Rescue in honor of Autism Awareness Month
The Little Kernel, a healthy line of "miniature" popcorn snacks, has announced a donation of $2500 to Generation Rescue, the leading national organization that provides hope, information and treatment assistance to families affected by autism spectrum disorders, in honor of April as Autism Awareness Month. Additionally, The Little Kernel is launching an ongoing charitable program wherein 25 cents per case of popcorn sold will be donated to Generation Rescue throughout 2017.
Co-Founded by Chris Laurita, husband of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Jacqueline Laurita, The Little Kernel was inspired by their experience with their autistic son, Nicholas. Determined to provide a better-for-you snack that fits specialty diet requirements typical for those with autism, Laurita set out to develop a "miniature" popcorn line with only non-GMO, gluten-free, and dairy-free ingredients.
