SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY:

When we opened at 189 Brackett Street in 2018, we were immediately championed by our West End community.  So we decided early on to pay it forward.

Our first big donation was to the COVID unit at Maine Medical, which included Love Flowers for each of the 100+ unit members, and 750 chocolate goodies for their kids.

We now have a systematic giving strategy:  for our biggest chocolate seasons, we select a small to medium non-profit that is highly rated on Charity Navigator.  We donate 10% of our online and shop gross sales.  We focus on food insecurities organizations, and entities that support women and girls.  See the top of the poster below for the recipients of those larger gifts, and other organizations we support with their fund-raisers or with donations.

If your local non-profit is a four-star charity on Charity Navigator, we are happy to consider your organization for one of our big donations.  But we can also provide chocolate boxes for your fund raising event, just email us via our contact page.  

SERVING OUR COMMUNITY ON NON-PROFIT BOARDS:

Catherine's love for classical music led her to join the board of the Portland Chamber Music Festival, which brings world-class music to our city.  Sarah is on the board of A Company of Girls, where she contributes her leadership skills to support girls though active participation in the arts.

BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH OUR CHOCOLATE CLASSES!

The move to our bigger space allowed us to offer chocolate classes for the first time throughout the 2025 summer season.  Read more about it here and here ! The classes will return mid May of 2026.
