It was inspired by Michael, a young man on the autism spectrum who is now 25 yrs old. Equally important is our commitment to educating people on autism acceptance and inclusivity. We achieve this through our teenage community service program whereby teenagers earn community service in exchange for sharing information about autism acceptance. To date, over 40,000 teenagers have participated in our program , reaching over 800,000 people and creating thousands of paid employment. Luv Michael operates out of Tribeca, NYC and Southampton, NY where employees hand-make an artisinal , gluten-free, and organic granola. All of our products are made by adults on the autism spectrum. It is packaged and shipped to our donors as a way of showing gratitude for their support and to thank them for taking the time to learn more about autism. Luv Michael is committed to creating and providing meaningful jobs for the Autistic population. The profits from Luv Michael are used to hire more employees, to develop more vocational training modules for our employees and to support initiatives that benefit the lives of adults on the spectrum.
