A tasty way to support a Design Ignites Change Implementation Award winner
Made possible through the Design Ignites Change Implementation Award, the first delicious products from PieLab’s Pecans! business are now for sale online. The goal of Pecans! is to teach local youth in rural Greensboro, Alabama to create a profitable business using a plentiful local resource.
Designers at PieLab have helped the students acquire the skills they need to formulate a business plan, develop their pecan products, as well as brand, market and sell them. In addition to the tag featuring the youth’s logo designs, a local craftsman was employed to emboss the leather strap around the rim of the jars with the word “GOOD,” which can be used as a bracelet after the jar is opened.
It’s hard to say whether we are more excited by the great packaging design or the delectable contents. By purchasing these mouthwatering treats today you will not only be empowering youth in Greensboro, but you will also be supporting an outstanding Design Ignites Change project!
Jars of pecan brittle and pecan butter are both available to purchase at
www.the-pecans.com.
The deadline for the next round of Implementation and Idea Awards is June 30th. Learn more at www.designigniteschange.org.
