Our Participating Businesses:
How it Works
Each participating business will create a unique signature hot chocolate beverage that they will sell from January 22 – February 22. Proceeds from the sales of this beverage will go to support the work of Michael House to help provide shelter and support to pregnant and parenting women and their children in need in our community.
Plan a date night with your favourite someone, invite your friends or co-workers, or enjoy an outing with family and visit participating businesses during the month to try the various signature hot chocolates. The cost to participate is to purchase the hot chocolate signature drink at participating businesses. Once you’ve tried a few, or tried them all come back here to vote for your favourite!
