Victorian Chocolate Company Needs Our Help

Since 1988, Kelly Reetz has poured his heart into making handcrafted chocolates and candies at the beloved Victorian Chocolate Company. His shop isn’t just a business — it’s a cherished part of our town’s identity. Kelly has provided his services to Lowes Distribution Center, Western University of Health Sciences, and Samaritan Health Services. All of his candies and chocolate are made in his shop by himself. One unique fact is that Victorian Chocolate was selected to supply the candy for Johnny Cash's son's wedding in Corvallis.

Now, Kelly is facing a devastating setback. A catastrophic collapse of the shop's roof has forced him to close his doors — and without insurance to cover the damage, the cost of repairs is overwhelming. Structural engineers estimate the repairs could reach $125,000 — far more than any small business owner can handle alone.

This is where we come in.

Let’s show Kelly the same kindness and support he’s shown us for nearly four decades. If every chocolate lover and community member donate just $5, we can help restore the roof, repair the building, and bring back a treasured piece of Lebanon's heart.

Together, we can lift Kelly up and bring the magic of the Victorian Chocolate Company back to life. Please give what you can, share this with others, and help us spread the word.

Let’s bring the chocolate back — and remind Kelly that in Lebanon, no one stands alone. ❤️
