Mini Pops Inc., giving back to veterans by supporting the Fisher House Foundation’s mission to provide a “home away from home for military families to be close to a loved one during hospitalization for an illness, disease or injury.”

Stoughton, MA (July 30^th 2012) – Mini Pops Inc., a privately owned healthy snack manufacturer, supports military families through a donation to the Fisher House Foundation. Mini Pops hopes to inspire other small businesses with limited resources to engage in charitable activities to support the community.

“In recent times, I have read about the struggles that returning soldiers have encountered. Interestingly, you hear little about the hardships those servicemen’s families face, especially if a loved one is deployed or wounded. By supporting the Fisher House, we hope that we can help bring military families together in their ultimate time of need. Even though we are a small company, we recognize the importance of family, and we want to give back in any way we can,” said Ari Taube, CEO, Mini Pops Inc.

The Fisher House Foundation donates homes, built on major military and veteran hospital grounds, which enable family members to be close to loved ones in their time need entirely free of charge. Being with family in difficult times is important and the Fisher House works to make that happen for the armed forces. Military families do not pay to stay in the home and their success depends on donations to “reimburse the individual Fisher Houses operated by the Army, Navy, and Air Force.”

Mini Pops will host a giveaway on their Facebook page from July 31^st 2012 to August 13th, 2012 to raise money for the Fisher House Foundation. For every entry, Mini Pops donates 10 cents to the Fisher House Foundation at no cost to the entrant. Entrants will also have the chance to win 16 bags of Mini Pops. Past giveaways have garnered much success, and Mini Pops is confident that this giveaway will generate a sizeable donation.

With over 17,000 families served each year, the Fisher House Foundation has made a tremendous impact in the lives of military families. As an emerging company, the Mini Pops brand demonstrates its commitment to bringing families together, supporting the community, and emphasizing healthy living. Mini Pops is proud to support U.S. veterans and their families, because as the Fisher House believes, “a family’s love is good medicine.”

A Truly Unique Snack Food Comes to Massachusetts and the USA!

Stoughton, MA (August 16^th 2010) - Mini Pops Inc. is extremely proud to announce the grand opening of its manufacturing facility in Stoughton, MA.  Mini Pops is an absolutely unique snack food to hit the shelves of natural food grocers nationwide:  Popped, Organic Sorghum Grain!  Sorghum, being the 5^th most harvested cereal grain on the globe, is primarily harvested for milling into gluten-free flour.  But one of its little known secrets is that it pops just like popcorn.  It is Corn-Free, Gluten-Free and is healthier for you than popcorn.

“To be able to bring a completely new and unique product into the US snack food industry that is also healthy and delicious is very exciting,” says Ari Taube, President and CEO of Mini Pops Inc.  “An Organic, gluten-free and corn-free popcorn alternative that lacks those irritating popcorn hulls makes for the next big thing in healthy snacking.”

Sorghum, which requires 50% less water to grow than corn, is also known as a very ‘green’ product and Mini Pops gets all their sorghum from Family Farms in the USA.  Moreover, it donates a portion of their proceeds to FarmAid Charity – a charity to help family farms in the USA weather tough times.

“I think we as a country are becoming far more health conscience and environmentally mindful,” Taube says.  “Mini Pops offers a delicious and nutritious snack while fostering cognizance towards where our food comes from – our earth.” 

 Mini Pops now comes in 6 Delicious Flavors. All flavors are certified Organic and Kosher:

1) Baby White Cheddar
2) Little Lemon Pepper
3) Subatomic Sea Salt          
4) Itsy Bitsy Chili Cheese                                                                                                             
5) Hot n’ Chilly Chili
6) Petite Plain

“Two more flavors that are on the Mini Pops horizon are Teeny Tiny Kettle Pops and Cutie Caramel” says Taube.

Mini Pops is a privately held corporation founded by its president, Ari Taube, and its products are making their way onto store shelves and currently selling online at www.MiniPopsInc.com.  Mini Pops does all its popping, flavoring and packaging at its Stoughton, MA location.  It will be a new Exhibitor at The Natural Foods Expo East this upcoming October and is welcoming new retail and wholesale orders.
