Opportunity Enterprises is pleased to announce that their Do Goodies line of gourmet popcorn is now available in Porter County Strack & Van Til and Town & Country locations. This expansion reflects the nonprofit's commitment to creating a diverse and inclusive workforce and to serve the community with high-quality, handcrafted products.

Jeff Strack, president of Strack & Van Til, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative. "We're thrilled to offer Do Goodies Gourmet Popcorn in our Porter County stores. It's not only about providing our customers with a delicious, hand-crafted snack but also about supporting an inclusive workforce. The partnership with Opportunity Enterprises aligns perfectly with our values of community engagement and social responsibility," said Strack.

 

Approximately 70% of Do Goodies’ workforce has a disability, demonstrating the company's dedication to empowering individuals through meaningful employment. Each purchase of Do Goodies products directly supports these efforts.

 

“Our mission is to create inclusive and equitable opportunities for people of all abilities, and we’re able to do that by creating a quality product,” said Do Goodies Operations Director Sarah Britton. “Having a presence at Strack & Van Til means more customers will be able to support that mission while enjoying a delicious treat.”

 

Customers can now find Do Goodies Gourmet Popcorn’s eight signature mixes on the shelves of their neighborhood grocery stores, including Chicago Style, Tuxedo Twist, and Sea Salt & Dark Chocolate, each prepared by Opportunity Enterprises' inclusive workforce.

Opportunity Enterprises invites the community to taste the difference that comes with snacks made with care and purpose.
