Carolina Kettle Chips
Carolina Kettle is a product of 1 in 6 Snacks, owned by Josh Monahan. Josh is a North Carolina Native and a North Carolina State University graduate of 2017. The name of the snack company is named after the staggering statistic that 1 in 6 people in this country do not know where their next meal will come from. So, for every bag of Carolina Kettle chips that Josh sells, a portion of the profit (5¢ for a 2 oz bag and 10¢ for a 5 oz bag) is donated to a local food bank!
