Glenwood’s Pecans for Autism are available for purchase this holiday season, and every package bought goes to help care for patients with autism.
A nonprofit based in Birmingham, Glenwood provides “person-centered treatment of children and adults impacted by autism and other behavioral health needs,” according to the organization’s mission statement.
They add that 100% of the proceeds from the sale of their pecans and other goodies go to benefit their programs and services.
The pecans can be bought online or by calling 866-729-2189.
Glenwood’s pecans can also be found in person at several locations in the Birmingham area, including some Piggly Wiggly and Nail’s convenience store locations.
According to a release, the pecans sold by Glenwood are “‘first shake’ pecans from southern farms” and they “come in many varieties and products, from the mammoth pecan halves to chocolate covered pecans, the popular roasted and salted, pecan brittle, pecan coffees and many more.”
This year marks Glenwood’s 43rd year of conducting the Pecans for Autism fundraiser. The nonprofit says it “touched the lives of over 10,000 families across Alabama in the past year.”
Besides pecans, Glenwood also sells pecan brittle, pecan coffees and many more treats that can make the holiday season a little sweeter.
