Sweet momentum, swinging our way
What a difference a week makes! Lots of you have gotten behind our chocolate bar project in a big way in the past seven days, and you're making a huge difference. We have just over a week to go, and it's easy to see momentum building as we close in on our goal. Right now, we're 71% funded!
I cannot even begin to tell you how meaningful all your support is. You've emailed, posted, shared and talked about this project with your friends and family, and that word from you is resonating with folks all over.
This project, while not life and death, creates opportunities for us as a small business, and for people all along the supply chain who are making responsible and ethical decisions about how we treat the Earth, and each other. Thank you so much for being a part of that. Together, we have great power!
Stay tuned for the final week. It's going to be lots of fun!
