CAMDEN, New Jersey (WPVI) — Three men have spent years following a particular north star: one that compels them to help men in prison.
Mark Walton, Bruce Smith, and Bill Borghard are involved with ‘Seeds of Hope’ ministries in Camden, New Jersey, to do just that.
But they were looking for a way to go beyond their routine outreach.
They came up with a recipe to help men re-enter society after leaving prison. And it calls for a whole lot of chocolate.
‘Hope Chocolates’ kicked off in 2023 with a mission to provide jobs to ex-offenders and help them re-enter society.
Through it, men have learned to become chocolatiers, earn money, and develop a healthy routine to become contributing members of society.
The online business offers delivery across the continental USA and local deliveries in South Jersey.
