Springfield, IL – 2/17/2025 – At Del’s Popcorn Shop, we believe the best stories come from the heart of our communities. The recent fundraiser with the Westside Rotary Club of Springfield is one worth celebrating.

Together, we helped raise $843.24. But this wasn’t just about dollars - it was about winter warmth, mentorship, and neighbors stepping up for local kids.

This partnership supported the Rotary Club’s mission to care for Springfield’s youth, from purchasing essential winter coats to running a monthly mentoring program that offers kids real encouragement and guidance. When great causes meet strong community support (and delicious popcorn), amazing things happen.

“We knew right away that the Westside Rotary Club was doing something special,” said Ellie Gross, our national sales manager. “They’re committed to making life better for kids -and that’s exactly the kind of mission we love to support. It’s a win-win when tasty treats help fund something this meaningful.”

Westside Rotary Club of Springfield

Since 2008, this Rotary Club has been working quietly but powerfully behind the scenes in Springfield. Their focus has always been children, from making sure kids have warm coats during Midwest winters to providing consistent mentorship that helps young people thrive. It’s community service in its purest form, and we’re honored to have played a small role in supporting it.

Del’s Popcorn Shop

Del’s began nearly a century ago, when popcorn was sold from the corner of a print shop in Springfield, IL. Since those humble beginnings, we’ve grown into a local treasure - and now, a national favorite. Our caramel corn, cheddar blends, homemade fudge, peanut brittle, and classic confections are made the old-fashioned way: in small batches, with real ingredients and a whole lot of love.

Today, our virtual fundraising platform makes it simple for schools, clubs, and non-profits to raise money with our most-loved popcorn products. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it’s delicious.
