For People's Pickles, it's about the people, not the pickles
Marcus Weaver is using his own experiences and a crunchy, sour snack to help others make their lives a little better.
Weaver is the executive director of Lower the Barrier and founder of People's Pickles, which he describes as a community-driven job training program that helps marginalized individuals, like people coming out of homelessness, prison or rehab.
"I wanted to make a product that we could easily sell, but also give people job training," he said.
People's Pickles has helped more than 150 people since Weaver started the program in 2019.
