Ways to Directly Get Involved
Whether you’re simply a chocolate lover or a decades-long industry veteran, here are a few ways you can collaborate with us toward a fairer cocoa future–
Buy Cacao & Chocolate Products
Once you taste the difference between industrial, mass-marketed brands and origin-made products you won’t want to go back! Farm-direct products are not only tastier, they’re also often better-for-you with minimal processing, and shorter, more natural ingredients lists. Added bonus - they’re better for building small businesses and thriving, diversified local economies too.
Origin-Made products are the perfect, unique gift for cacao and chocolate lovers in your life. Many makers have incredible stories of impact that make holiday celebrations doubly sweet!
Most makers we feature have designed special gift packs at various price points to make holiday gift giving easy.
Volunteer
Want to help a great cause while indulging in amazing chocolate? Join us in supporting origin communities by sharing their delicious products with fellow chocolate lovers. After all, tasting is believing!
Simply invite your friends, either in-person or online, for a fun and tasty way to support origin makers and taste their chocolate.
To get started, order a Group Tasting of your choice and note that you're Hosting a Tasting at checkout. To set you up for success, we’ll provide a link to a brief on-demand training to guide you through what to expect. We'll also be available for any questions as you prepare.
A few notes:
- Hosting a tasting for more than 6-8 people? If everyone is in a single location, you may choose to break the bars into smaller samples per person or order a second kit.
- Hosting a virtual tasting? If attendees are not in the same location, we recommend each person orders their own Individual Tasting Kit at least two weeks in advance of your scheduled tasting.
- If you're Hosting, whether virtual with individual tastings or in-person with a group tasting, please note during checkout that you are hosting a tasting. We will send you all of the necessary hosting & training materials.
If you're volunteering to host a tasting, after the successful completion of your event, you’ll receive a tax-deductible donation receipt for the cost of your kit. Enjoy the chocolate and make a difference!
Do you have specific business skills or networks to support origin makers and communities? There is always a need. Especially in sales, marketing, and finance. Let us know. We’d love to connect with you.
The makers we collaborate with are up against seemingly insurmountable odds. They, and we, would love your prayer support. Sign-up here to receive emails about specific prayer requests.
