Galentine's Day Pay-it-Forward Chocolate Event

Today on the blog I want to share about a really important event that has been supported by the Pink Moon Goods community for the last three years. I call it the Galentine's Day Pay-it-Forward Chocolate Event. While we are not much for going overboard for each Hallmark holiday this one is near and dear to my heart and I want to tell you why. 

Every year around this time as the holiday of love approaches I get to thinking about how special and unique it is to find myself in a healthy loving relationship. I never want to take for granted that reality as for some it is something that may seem unattainable or out of reach because they are experiencing quite the opposite.

For some people, home is not a place of love and comfort but rather a place that is filled with fear and violence. The road to escaping these scenarios is challenging beyond what most of us can imagine. This is just one reason that I find it important to find ways to help these folks in our community feel loved.

Here in Dayton we are lucky enough to have a YWCA Women's Shelter for women and their children to rely on when they are forced to leave their homes to escape violence. When I think back on all my years of being single I can say that Valentine's Day was one of the hardest holidays to get through. Being inundated with messages of romantic love can be super challenging if you don't have romantic love in your life. 

In my first year of business during this holiday I got to thinking about all those ladies at the local shelter feeling lost and scared and alone during a time of year when others are getting flowers and chocolates and fancy dinners. I knew I wanted to find a way to make an impact and send a clear message to them that they are loved. This was my solution. Chocolate doesn't make the pain go away but kind gestures can make one feel less alone. 

Here's how it works:

💗 Buy a chocolate bar from Pink Moon Goods (in-store or online). Choose local pick-up at checkout if purchasing online.

💖 All chocolate purchased for this event will be discounted 20% (discount will be automatically applied)

💓 I will then lovingly wrap each bar of chocolate and deliver to the YWCADayton shelter on Valentine’s Day.

💖 Anyone that participates will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a basket of goodies from the shop!

Find our chocolate here! 

Promo runs from Feb 1st - 8th.

Thank you for helping me bring a little light into a challenging time in someone’s life.
