Pecans for Autism

Glenwood’s Pecans for Autism is a beloved holiday tradition that blends Southern flavor with heartfelt purpose, offering premium pecans and specialty treats to support life-changing services for individuals with autism and behavioral health needs.

Pecans for autism

For more than 45 years, Glenwood’s Pecans for Autism have been a holiday staple, benefitting all our programs and services for children, adolescents, adults and families affected by autism and other behavioral health needs. As a 501C3 nonprofit, we use the proceeds for such programs as schools, residences, community-based training and family services for adults and children alike.

Pecans for Autism began as a fundraiser for Allan Cott School, our very first program. These make excellent “corporate gifts” during the holidays. We sell only the freshest “first shake” pecans from southern pecan farms. Our pecan halves are mammoth-size, the biggest and best-tasting available. In addition to our pecan halves by the pound, we offer a variety of specialty items including pecan brittle, divinity bars, pecan-flavored coffees and various assortments.

Our online shop will open November 1st, 2025 and close January 10, 2026. Pecans for Autism is a vital fundraiser to support life-changing services to so many in our community. Thank you for supporting those we serve!

  • “I ordered Glenwood’s pecans for the first time last fall, and now they’ve become a staple in my kitchen. They’re so fresh, flavorful, and perfect for baking or just snacking right out of the bag. Knowing my purchase also supports such an incredible cause makes them taste even better.”
