Our friends and community have asked us for an option to donate directly, rather than buy product. 🥹 It’s hard to accept such outright generosity, but we want to honor your offers of support. Donations will be used to clean up our Chocolate Factory and fund operations, while we wait to make chocolate once again.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Asheville and our region have been devastated by floods from Hurricane Helene. It is heartbreaking to see lives, livelihoods, businesses, and homes destroyed by this catastrophic event.
Dan and I watched in horror as cars and telephone poles floated by our Chocolate Factory, and began to lap at the front door. Fortunately, our team's preparation in sandbagging prevented most of the water from breaching. The water rose to 39" up our front door.
What now? Critical utilities (water, power) must be restored before we can start making chocolate again. This could take weeks.
Many of us are without power, water, access to food, gas, and roads. We've got a long hard road ahead of us. Humbly, we are so grateful for your support.Â
