The article “Coronavirus taking big bite out of Easter candy sales for region’s makers” (April 1, TribLIVE) detailed local candy companies’ struggles during this pandemic and how, with Easter sales way down, they fear their companies might not survive. Well, we can do something about that.

Let’s all do our part to help our neighborhood chocolatiers.

On your next foray to the supermarket or drugstore, be sure to load up on chocolate eggs and bunnies and boxes of chocolates.

Like ordering delicious takeout from our restaurants, it’s one of the few really enjoyable things we can do to help our small businesses make it through this tough time.
