DHL and Trail's End Popcorn Company of Indiana have joined forces to help raise money for the Iraqi Scouting Initiative, according to Inside INdiana Business. DHL is donating its shipping services to transport 2.5 tons of Trail's End popcorn to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, Iraq. The sale of the popcorn will raise as much as $25,000 for the purchase of supplies for youth scouting activities across Iraq. Iraq’s youth scouting program reemerged in 2004 through the efforts of the Green Zone Council, a volunteer group of U.S. civilian and military personnel in Iraq. From DHL’s facility in Indianapolis, hundreds of cases of microwave popcorn, caramel corn, and kernels, donated by Trail’s End Popcorn Company of Indiana, will be transported via a 53-foot tractor-trailer to DHL’s primary air and ground hub in Wilmington, Ohio, where it will be flown to JFK airport and onwards to the Middle East.
