Amid the swirl of awful news about children in crisis around the world, many Westporters wonder how they can help.
Aarti Khosla — owner of Le Rouge, the artisan chocolate shop on Main Street just past Avery Place — has one idea. She writes:
With the continued moral decay surrounding us, I am upping the effort to raise money for children in crisis. I’m giving 100% of the proceeds from chocolate hearts sold this week.
To keep my sanity during the challenging moral decay surrounding me, I have been busy making “Give a Little Love” chocolate hearts since February of 2017. So far we have sold close to 800 hearts. They’ve been shared in random acts of kindness in and around our community. 10% of the proceeds have been given to charity.
“Give a Little Love” with these chocolates.
Please help me reach my goal of 1,000 hearts this week. 100% of sales of these hearts will go to help children in crisis.
These chocolate hearts are a great way to say thank you to teachers, school staff, bus drivers and others in our community. Please join me in spreading more love!
The hard-working Aarti had already planned to close for her annual vacation next week. So head down to 190 Main Street today or tomorrow, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
How amazing! Thank you Aarti, I will be stopping by!
What moral decay? Anything specific?
Which kids in crisis? Generally or is that an organization?
