Uh-oh.
It’s Valentine’s Day, and you forgot your chocolates.
You have 2 choices:
- Kiss your relationship goodbye.
- Head to Le Rouge by Aarti — and help not only yourself, but a good cause.
Since 2016 Aarti Khosla — the handmade chocolatier at 190 Main Street — has run a “Give a Little Love” campaign. She donates 10% of the proceeds from any heart-shaped creation to charity.
This year’s recipient is “She’s the First.” The organization — dear to Aarti’s, um, heart — empowers and helps educate young women who are the first in their family to go to college.
But Aarti is not stopping there. She just introduced a second campaign: “Give a Little Woof.”
Aarti designed a mini-heart box, with 3 hand-painted dark chocolate “bones.” A full 50% of sales goes to the Weston Dog Park. The initiative honors Brian Gordon, the town’s beloved 2nd selectman and 1987 Staples High School graduate, who died in November.
Give a Little Woof!
So what are you waiting for?
Well, actually, you’ve still got a couple of hours. Le Rouge opens at 11 a.m.
