Candles Creating Change® is Door County Candle Company's philanthropic initiative to donate money to various causes through the sales of their handcrafted scented wax products! When you buy any traditional candle, soy candle, wax melt or votive, a portion of the sale will be donated to various causes.
Currently, there are three ways your purchase makes a difference: Candles Creating Change®, Support a Cause, and Local Support a Cause.
Candles Creating Change®: With every scented wax product purchase, a portion of proceeds will be donated to various nonprofits. With your purchase, you become an agent of change.
Support a Cause: This is a specific product focused on a specific cause (ie: our Ukraine Candle). This allows us to partner with organizations and work together on their fundraising efforts and goals.
Local Support a Cause: Each quarter, we select a nonprofit performing work in Door County that has been nominated by members of the community. Like the national Support a Cause efforts, a specific product is selected for this program and sales from this product directly impact the nonprofit.
