People in need will have happier, sweeter Easter holiday, thanks to an Erie company.

Romolo Chocolates on Thursday donated dozens of chocolate bunnies to the Erie United Methodist Alliance (EUMA).

The bunnies will go to clients and residents in EUMA programs.

Romolo's owner Tony Stefanelli said the community has supported him for decades, and it's only right to give back when he can.

"We enjoy giving products out when we are able to because  we found out that creates a happiness that goes along with our culture," said Stefanelli. "Not only are we supporting the communit, but our employees. Everybody love doing this."

Stefanelli said the donation more than pays for itself with a boost in staff morale and in continued support from the Erie community.
