LaPorte students find supplies on their desks on first day of school

Chris and his son Dillan on the first day of school at Indian Trail Elementary

Blogged by Chris Long, LaPorte Indiana Associate

Wow, my son’s first day was really cool this year. I work at American Licorice Co., and I was able to take time off work on my son’s first day back to school.  Dillan attends Indian Trail Elementary and was one of the lucky students who received a back pack loaded with everything he needed to start school, thanks to American Licorice Co. and the Kids In Need Foundation. I went to school and was able to see him open up his backpack and see all the cool stuff inside. I have never worked for a company that did so many good things for the community and especially kids.
