Chef-entrepreneur Larry Schepici continues to do good things for Troy. The owner the restaurant Tosca Grille and the adjacent gourmet shop Tosca Etc. is donating proceeds from the sale of handmade chocolates emblazoned with the words “Enjoy Troy” to Unity House. The Rensselaer County-based human-service nonprofit assists people living in poverty, adults living with mental illness or HIV/AIDS, victims of domestic violence and children with developmental delays.

The chocolates, made daily by pastry chef John Vasquez, cost $1.25 apiece and are part of a line of confections, breads and to-go meals available at Tosca Etc. The shop is located at 200 Broadway in downtown Troy, next door to the restaurant.
