Community

Charitable ventures & community involvement
At The Ministry of Chocolate we have a long standing commitment to charitable ventures and community involvement.
The Ministry of Chocolate is proudly Veteran owned and operated. Drew has served in the Australian Army Reserve for 13 years. Post service, Drew has continued to work within Ex Service Organisations (ESO) dedicating time to supporting veterans and their families. He is actively involved with Hawthorn RSL, Veterans For Fishing and Save Our Service Australia (SOSA), all of which create opportunities for positive mental health outcomes and social interactions for veterans.
MND Victoria & Cancer Council Victoria
Our business actively supports MND Victoria and the Cancer Council Victoria among other charities, based on our personal life experiences. We are a small business, and our impact may be small. However, no small act goes unnoticed and no small act is ever wasted.
Barack Obama"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."

Kindness 4 Kids
We have a long standing relationship with Kindness 4 Kids, a charity that is all heart, giving support and smiles to kids going through tough times. They're an incredible group of people who work tirelessly for the community and children.
You can get involved too by donating direct to them, or attending their annual gala ball. See you there!
