Popcorn For The People

Popcorn for the People was established in 2014 as a social enterprise model dedicated to creating meaningful and lasting jobs for adults with autism and developmental disabilities. Our business model can be replicated, sustained and the standard for others to follow. 

Our vision is to ensure that ALL adults with autism and developmental disabilities can experience the joy of accomplishment that comes from steady employment. We have production facilities in Piscataway, NJ and Philadelphia, PA and are at events throughout the tri-state region. 

OUR VALUES:

FAIR WAGES — Our entire team starts at or above minimum wage, with opportunities for raises. 

CAREER ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES — Our entire team has equal access to leadership and management roles to grow within our organization. 

PROMOTING RESPECT AND EQUALITY — We are not a sheltered workplace isolating individuals based on disability. 

Meet SAMUEL BIER, COFOUNDER ... “When we founded this organization in 2014, I had no working experience besides pushing shopping carts at a grocery store. No company was open to giving me an opportunity that felt fulfilling. My parents and I came together to create opportunities for not just me, but others struggling with employment too. Since then, I have had the opportunity to learn so much and meet so many new interesting people at Popcorn for the People. Your support for our organization truly means the world to us and I am so happy that because of us joining together, we will be able to create a better future for everyone.”

Our gourmet popcorn is made in small batches by our skilled team. Your purchase will directly create employment for autistic adults!
